Linda unifies process creation, inter-process communication and synchronization within tuple-space operations.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Communication and process creation are two facets of the same operation in Linda.claim0.851
  Linda unifies process creation and communication through generative communication.
• Linda is a model of process creation and coordination that is orthogonal to the base language in which it’s embedded.quote0.827
  Load-bearing definition of Linda's relation to the base language.
• The tuple space model covers all forms of communication: inter-process, inter-language, user-system, past-future.claim0.807
  Argues the generality of the model beyond just parallel programming.
• If two processes need to communicate, they don't exchange messages or share a variable; instead, the data producing process generates a new data object and sets it adrift in tuple space.concept0.801
  Defines generative communication: the unique mechanism that enables uncoupled programming and persistent data objects.
• The unification of process and data creation means that we can organize collections of processes into 'live data structures'.claim0.801
  Explains a key consequence of generative communication.
• In Linda, no separate merge process is needed for multiple client streams.claim0.796
  Linda's tuple space allows many-to-one communication without an extra merger.
• "The model is based on generative communication. If two processes need to communicate, they don't exchange messages or share a variable; instead, the data producing process generates a new data object (called a tuple) and sets it adrift in a region called tuple space."concept0.784
• Linda achieves scalable performance on distributed-memory machines.claim0.784
  Supported by reported speedup through 64 nodes on iPSC/2.
