It runs on an iPSC/2 and is based on a distributed virtual memory for the database (which can be particularly large for this algorithm). I think I you want to rewrite the code in Linda you can do it with minor changes: parallel code is limited for two services, one service for the shared database accesses (using software paging mechanism) and one service for the work balance (dynamic distribution of the pixel map). The source code of VM_pRAY is available from our site (irisa.irisa.fr (131.254.2.3)) with a ftp anonymous access (directory iPSC2/VM_pRAY). -didier. -- Didier Badouel @ IRISA, Rennes, France (badouel@irisa.fr) --
