Failure to provide information

Among the current limitations of Linda, those important to computational chemistry applications are failure to provide information on where or how tuples are stored or accessed lack of structure within tuple space, making it hard to maintain modularity a requirement to match general tuples, leading to inefficiencies in memory usage and communication even for simple data structures (e.g., a distributed array) lack of primitives for efficient global operations (e.g., reduction and broadcast) and requiring the compiler to detect and optimize these constructs. There are many current directions of related research.
