In the Department of Computer Science at Monash University we have developed
a shared memory multiprocessor with a rather unusual address translation
mechanism in which all processes share a single global virtual address space.
A capability-based operating system kernel controls access to the global
virtual memory which is designed to extend world-wide.

Particular research interests are:
	Multiprocessor architectures
	Capability-based Operating System
	Unusual high-speed (40 MHZ) backplane bus
	User interfaces to the system
	Languages which can exploit the properties of the
	capability-based virtual memory and the multiprocessor architecture.
	Coupling the multiprocessor systems together across
	local and wide-area networks.
