Tuple Space

An implementation of the associative memory paradigm for parallel/distributed computing. It provides a repository of tuples that can be accessed concurrently; they may be thought of as "distributed shared memory".

Wikipedia

Popularized by the Linda programming language. Tuple spaces are collections of tuples.

IBM TSpaces were one of my favorite projects I never got to use.
