On the use of free memory with TDS2

[Luiz Felipe Perrone]

Hello netters,

I'm writing an application for a T800 hypercube that needs to find
out the free memory in each processor after it has been loaded. For the
root transputer, the one that runs TDS2, this is trivial. TDS2 declares
freespace, an array of INT that can be directly used. To find out it's
size I just need to execute SIZE(freespace) and to use it I can access
it in the same way as with any other array.

But what to do on the other nodes of the hypercube that don't run TDS2 ?
Do I have to declare a freespace myself with the estimated size of the
free memory ? Or is there a more general approach ?

Send me e-mail directly or to the llist if your can offer some help.
Thank you in advance.
