What is Shared-Memory Architecture?

Is it like many processors share one memory and then those processors run one programme (in parallel??)?

It could refer to integrated graphics that share memory from system RAM:

OR to shared memory in servers/supercomputers:

Same memory space, divided in portions so some process can use them in smaller/shared doses.
