%X The architecture and performance of a Java implementation of
   a structured distributed shared memory system, PastSet, is
   described. The PastSet abstraction allows programmers to
   write applications that run efficiently on different
   architectures, from clusters to widely distributed systems.
   PastSet is a tuple\-based three\-dimensional structured
   distributed shared memory system, which provides the
   programmer with operations to perform causally ordered reads
   and writes of tuples to a virtual structured memory space
   called the PastSet. It has been shown that the original,
   native code, PastSet was able to outperform MPI and PVM when
   running real applications and we show that the design
   translates into Java so that Java PastSet is a qualified
   competitor to other cluster application programming
   interfaces for Java.
