BIDM.Asset.Abstract SAM is a run-time system that supports a shared name space in software on
 distributed-memory multiprocessors. There are a variety of scientific applications which
 operate on complicated data structures and access data in irregular and often data-dependent
 ways. SAM provides a global name space that facilitates programming these types of
 applications and caches data as necessary for efficient execution. All shared data in SAM is
 communicated in terms of user-defined data types, rather than fixed-size units such as pages.
 SAM provides simple primitives for accessing data from which more complex types of access
 can be built. SAM primitives can directly model the fundamental data relationships in parallel
 programs: producer-consumer, mutual exclusion, and chaotic relationships. META
