Shared Data Structures

1. Distribute data structure among computation tasks.

   Each task has to regularly poll during computation for pending requests.

2. Distribute data structure among additional server tasks.

   Only purpose of these tasks is to serve read/write requests.

3. Use a shared-memory system.

   Direct read/write possible; synchronization of tasks required.
