    {
	This paper describes a scheme for using cache-based hardware
	to provide simple and efficient message passing support for
	message-based software systems on a tightly-coupled,
	shared-bus multiprocessor.
	This approach is based on the utilization of the existing
	interprocessor communications medium,
	the shared bus,
	to effect the exchange of single-word messages.
	Communication between processes is accomplished over
	logical channels using simple,
	blocking {\em send} and {\em receive} primitives.
	The physical processor/channel interface is designed so that
	the message transfer primitives can be implemented as single machine
	instructions, namely {\em store} and {\em fetch}.
	Special-purpose caches, called {\em message caches},
	mediate channel operations and effect the exchange of messages over
	the shared bus.
