  abstract= "The Data Diffusion Machine (DDM) is a novel multiprocessor
     architecture which is scalable to an arbitrary number of
     processors and at the same time provides a shared virtual
     address space. There is no fixed home location for data -
     instead data migrates from one processor to another on
     demand. A cache coherence protocol maintains memory
     consistency allowing replication, migration and replacement
     of data.In order to evaluate the DDM we are developing an
     emulator on the Meiko Computing Surface. This paper
     describes the DDM emulator together with additional support
     to turn the emulator into a platform for running real shared
     memory applications. We describe how the bus based snoopy
     protocol of the DDM can be modified to suit point-to-point
     interconnection networks."
