Merits of Shared Memory Programming

Global address space gives a user-friendly programming perspective to memory.
Data sharing among processes is both fast and uniform due to the proximity of memory to CPUs.
No use to specify explicitly the communication of data between processes.
Insignificant process-communication overhead.
More easier and intuitive to learn.

Drawbacks

Complex to manage data locality.
Not portable.
Scalability is limited by the number of open pathways to memory.
User is liable for specifying synchronization, example:- locks.
