I would be happy to post (on line or by smail) copies of a set of documents
describing Memnet and its follow on Capnet. These are efforts started
over four years ago to attack both memory based distributed computing
and also the applications of those ideas to the general computer network
area. They are covered in light detail in an article by Farber and Delp
in the current Unix Review titled All systems in synch -- the impact of
ultra=high speed networking on processor architecture.
