A distributed computing system has an operating-system-transparent distributed memory that, among other things, facilitates shared-message-based inter-thread communication between intercommunicating threads executing concurrently on a single-processor computer system, concurrently and simultaneously on a multi-processor computer system, and concurrently and simultaneously on multiple, discrete computer systems. In a secure-platform architecture, secure-platform code running on processors (602-605) within a distributed computing system provides a virtual, or logical, computing platform on which operating systems and higher-level software can be layered. Logical processors 1106-1108 , logical caches 1109-1111, logical memory 1112, and logical mass-storage-device-implemented backing store 1114 and 1116 are mapped onto the individual processors, caches, memories, and interconnected mass-storage systems of a number of discrete computer systems interconnected by high-speed networking.
