#Concurrent read exclusive write (CREW)—multiple processors can read a memory cell but only one can write at a time
#Exclusive read concurrent write (ERCW)—never considered
#Concurrent read concurrent write (CRCW)—multiple processors can read and write. A CRCW PRAM is sometimes called a '''concurrent random-access machine'''.<ref>Neil Immerman, ''Expressibility and parallel complexity''. SiamSIAM Journal on Computing, vol. 18, no. 3, pp. 625-638, 1989.</ref>
 
Here, E and C stand for 'exclusive' and 'concurrent' respectively. The read causes no discrepancies while the concurrent write is further defined as:
