TPVM: Distributed Concurrent Computing with Lightweight.. - Ferrari, Sunderam (1995) (30 citations) (Correct)
....multiple (2 8) CPU s and global memory are becoming commonplace; when collections of such machines are used as a parallel computing platform, the traditional process oriented message passing model is probably suboptimal. Finally, new concepts such as active messages [17] and remote memory copy [11] are attractive but extremely cumbersome to implement within a process oriented framework. In order to investigate the viability of a threads based distributed concurrent computing model to address some of the above issues, we have designed and implemented an experimental system called TPVM ....

A Threads-Only MPI Implementation for the Development of Parallel .. - Demaine (1997) (7 citations) (Correct)
....not address the global variable problem. An internal NEC implementation of MPI, done in Tokyo, for the NEC SX 4 parallel vector machine is the only project we know of that addresses the global variable problem. The compiler (by default) converts all global variables into thread specific data [8]. Since communication is through shared memory, the implementation can then use threads as MPI processes, thereby achieving greater efficiency as we have noted. 3 Threads Only MPI Implementation In this section, we present our threads only MPI implementation for developing parallel programs on a ....
