We discuss the implementation of Rhoda, our Linda(i)-like Tuple Space server which runs under the Helios(ii) operating system. The approach analyses and partitions tuple space at compile time in order to reduce the run time overhead of tuple matching. The interaction between the concurrent processes and the tuple partitions is used as the basis for distributing the partitions and processes in the network. The paper presents some empirical results and discusses the suitability of the Helios nucleus for supporting the approach.
