MPP: 1.A very large-scale computer system with commodity processing nodes interconnected together with a high speed low latency interconnect 2.Memories are physically distributed 3.Only a few host has a micro-kernel of OS Clusters: 1.Each node is a complete computer, may be without some peripherals 2.A complete OS residing on each node, plus an add-on middleware layer to support SSI, availability, parallelism, communication, and load balance DSM: 1.Memory is physically distributed, but logically is shared 2.Special hardware and software are used to maintain memory consistency and coherence
