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.
