What is the main reason for having a separate owner node from a home node in DSM systems?
- To manage the home node's memory
- To reduce the cost of state updates when a page is accessed by a non-home node (correct)
- To create page replicas for load balancing
- To triPLICATE shared state in datacenter environments
