In the Department of Computer Science at Monash University we have developed a shared memory multiprocessor with a rather unusual address translation mechanism in which all processes share a single global virtual address space. A capability-based operating system kernel controls access to the global virtual memory which is designed to extend world-wide. Particular research interests are: Multiprocessor architectures Capability-based Operating System Unusual high-speed (40 MHZ) backplane bus User interfaces to the system Languages which can exploit the properties of the capability-based virtual memory and the multiprocessor architecture. Coupling the multiprocessor systems together across local and wide-area networks. Contact Person: Ronald Pose ACSnet: rdp@bruce.cs.monash.oz Dept.
