TL;DR: Meglos provides a user‐level, message‐based programming environment for a system of interconnected processors that allows the simultaneous execution of a wide range of applications including real‐time control and large‐scale computations requiring the co‐operative work of many processors.
Abstract: Meglos provides a user-level, message-based programming environment for a system of interconnected processors. It allows the simultaneous execution of a wide range of applications including real-time control and large-scale computations requiring the co-operative work of many processors. The communications mechanisms in Meglos are designed to be easy to use and to provide high performance at the applications level. The communications primitives are based on symmetric, error-resilient channels that are independently flow controlled. Two-ended channels between pairs of co-operating processes provide communications with low latency and high throughput. Multicast channels are used to send messages efficiently among a large group of processors in a single operation.
