Abstract

We are engaged in a research aiming to implement, on a highly-parallel distributed-memory architecture, a set of primitives based on the actor model. In this paper, the motivations and a number of preliminary results of the project are reported. Discussion is focused on implementation issues. The overall software architecture of the distributed run-time kernel is presented. Solutions to mail address representation and to distributed collection of garbage actors are briefly described.
