You weren't talking about SMP with Linux were you?  I don't think so.  But
here is an URL for the   Purdue's Adapter for Parallel Execution and Rapid
Synchronization (PAPERS) Project Home Page that might be what your are
thinking about:

Also check out the hardware page for the adapter which is already built,
you can build it yourself:
