A tightly coupled multiprocessor is being build in the Computer Science Department of Monash University. This paper discusses several mechanisms that support a uniform virtual memory for the multiprocessor. Some desirable properties of the virtual memory are the result of an unusual capability mechanism and the introduction of a money mechanism. The capability mechanism described also allows a simple, and flexible, solution to the confinement problem.
