Explain in which respects DSM is suitable or unsuitable for client-server systems.

What will be an ideal response?


DSM is unsuitable for client-server systems in that it is not conducive to heterogeneous working. Furthermore, for security we would need a shared region per client, which would be expensive.
DSM may be suitable for client-server systems in some application domains, e.g. where a set of clients share server responses.
