AB A number of important operational issues have been identified
by  researchers working on many different machine architectures. 
Load  balancing is necessary to distribute work among the
processors. Locality is  desirable to limit the communication
bandwidth which a parallel machine  requires.  In addition it is
necessary to control parallelism to limit resource usage.  This
document surveys various approaches which have been taken in
these areas and proposes solutions in the context of the Flagship
rewrite-rule machine project.
