Abstract
The system comprises a collection of address spaces within which potentially many concurrent lightweight perceptible threads may execute. The address space is uniformly distributed among different nodes in a network of heterogeneous machines. Address spaces are first-class and may be generated dynamically. Threads within an address space may communicate with one another via shared memory; communication between address spaces takes place using explicit message-passing.
