architecture for   large scale parallel computer systems.  The thesis introduces mechanisms  for fast context switching,   synchronization between tasks,  and run-time binding of   variable names to processor memory.  Various design tradeoffs are evaluated   through simulation of a processor running a typical load.  This work contains  estimates of  the speed and complexity of the different   alternatives as implemented in VLSI.  }  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%  %%%%%%%%%% You Should Not Need To Modify Anything Below Here %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
