Steven Ericsson Zenith. Yale University. Department of Computer Science. New Haven, Connecticut. USA. 25th May 1990. This paper gives a summary outline of the Linda model of parallelism outlines the optimizations used by the current C-Linda compiler to transform tuple space interactions, and further eval transformations which provide effective process distribution and scheduling. The architecture of a machine (constructed from transputers) and implementation strategy used to provide a kernel to support this compiler are presented. Funding for this work was provided in part by NSF grants CCR--8657615. Requests for copies of this and other Linda papers can be directed to: hatchell@cs.yale.edu Regards, Steven. . .
