Abstract

This paper describes a method to implement the functionality of shared passive packages on top of a logical distributed memory — Linda. From a shared passive package a compiler can construct a new normal package that replaces the shared passive package. The new package contains the same subprograms and is extended with abstract data structures mapping Ada objects onto the storage units of Linda. A short program example is included to illustrate the construction process.
