Brian and others felt that an implementation on a distributed-memory
network would put a huge burden on the implementers and may cause other
problems. A workaround offering essentially the same functionality by
using point-to-point and collective synchronization (i.e., block p-1
processes in a barrier while one process updates the shared memory) was
identified.

All the Best,
  Torsten
