'''Uniform Memory Access''' (UMA) is a [[Sharedshared Memorymemory]] architecture used in [[parallel computer]]s.

All the processors in the UMA model share the physical memory uniformly. In a UMA architecture, access time to a memory ___location is independent fromon which processor makes the request or which memory chip contains the target memorytransferred data.
