Hi,
	I came across a paper in 1989 IEEE conference on parallel processing
by Kai Li and Richard Schaefer which is about implementing shared virtual 
memory on iPSC/2 hypercube.
	I am exploring the idea of such implementation on NCUBE/7 hypercube
at our university.
	So far I have two papers. First one is above mentioned and the second
one is IVY: A shared virtual memory system for parallel processing" by 
Kai Li. I am in the process of getting PhD thesis of Kai Li who proposed
this idea.
	I would appreciate any suggestions or ideas you folks may have that
you want to share with me. I would like to know if it is possible to
implement shared virtual memory on NCUBE hypercube. Since NCUBE does not
have hardware MMU is is possible to simulate it... something on this line. Or if
NCUBE has already implemented it.

Thanks in advance.
