I might just point out (even though I don't work there any longer)
that the Meiko CS/2 machine allows

1) Full Solaris Unix on each node (binary compatible with Sun machines).

2) Multiple user processes using the comms interface on a node
(i.e. time sharing on the nodes)

3) Full remote store access (i.e. get/put to any location in a remote
process [subject to the page protection in the target process, of course]).

4) Fully cache coherent.

It has been available for (at least) 3 years.

This seems to do all the things Eric things are hard/impossible, and
is a commercial product.
