I don't recall if the SIGPLAN paper was this or merely similar. I've
already junked my copy of SIGPLAN.

But I did ftp a copy of this last week, and had no trouble reading it.

   Newsgroups: comp.parallel
   From: heinze@ira.uka.de (Ernst A. Heinz)
   Keywords: Modula-2*, portable parallel programming environment,
	     optimizing compilation, high-level parallel debugging

   For all interested folks we have made a pre-print of our MPPM'93 paper
   publicly available by anonymous ftp. The title of the paper reads as
   follows:

   "The Modula-2* Environment for Parallel Programming"
   (by S.U. Haenssgen, E.A. Heinz, P. Lukowicz, M. Philippsen, and W.F. Tichy).

   THE MODULA-2* ENVIRONMENT FOR PARALLEL PROGRAMMING

   This paper presents a portable parallel programming environment for Modula-2*,
   an explicitly parallel machine-independent extension of Modula-2. Modula-2*
   offers synchronous and asynchronous parallelism, a global single address space,
   and automatic data and process distribution. The Modula-2* system consists of a
   compiler, a debugger, a cross-architecture make, runtime systems for different
   machines, and a set of scalable parallel libraries.  Implementations exist for
   the MasPar MP series of massively parallel processors (SIMD), the KSR-1
   parallel computer (MIMD), heterogeneous LANs of workstations (MIMD), and single
   workstations (SISD).

   The paper presents the important components of the Modula-2* environment and
   discusses selected implementation issues.  We focus on how we achieve a high
   degree of portability for our system while at the same time ensuring efficiency.
