ABSTRACT:
A message-driven concurrent computer system stores incoming messages in a row buffer and then in a queue in main memory. A translator cache is also located in main memory, and output from the cache is through a set of comparators. Both the queue and cache are addressed in a wraparound fashion by hardware. An instruction buffer holds an entire row of instructions from memory. Translate, suspend and send instructions are available to the user. Tags provide for synchronization when objects are retrieved from remote processors and identify addresses as being physical addresses of a local processor or a node address of a remote processor.
