%T "Do it yourself" shared memory instruction sets in occam %A M. I. Cole %E Stephen J. Turner %B OUG\-12: Tools and Techniques for Transputer Applications %X We present an approach to the task of "civilising" distributed memory architectures, in which the programmer is presented with a shared memory computational model, augmented with application specific shared memory instructions. We note that this model can ease the dimculty of designing and justifying algorithms, and that occam provides a suitable medium for its distributed implementation.
