Towards a Shared Memory Hypercube
D. Lindsay
CMU-CS-88-190

    Early generation hypercube computers have shown great promise, but
    only message-based programs have been successful in exploiting the
    potential of these machines. The report shows that shared memory
    programming techniques can be efficient on a conventional hypercube
    with appropriate communications support.  Specific hardware features
    are proposed, based on double-ended circuit transactions.
