BIDM.Asset.Abstract Treadmarks supports parallel computing on networks of workstations. Its main feature is that it provides a global shared address space across the different machines on a cluster. The shared address space distinguishes it from other packages such as PVM that provide a message passing interface between machines. Current research going on in the TreadMarks project includes the integration of compiler and runtime techniques, the use of high-level synchronization operators, and the use of multithreading, in particular on multiprocessor nodes.

BIDM.Asset.TargetEnvironment As of latest version, TreadMarks runs on IBM, DEC, SUN, HP, x86 (running FreeBSD 2.1R or Linux Slackware 3.0) and SGI hardware. C, C++, and Fortran are supported. Added Fortran support for DEC UNIX V4.0A and IRIX 6. Updated the Alpha support to Digital UNIX V4.0A. Added support for Linux 2.0.x on the Alpha. However, it won't work until Linux provides a complete sigcontext. Updated the Linux/x86 support to Linux 2.0.x. Added support for Solaris 2.5 on the x86. META
