Hi,
	I wanted to know whether it is possible to implement shared 
primitives in i860. I am interested in locks implementation on i860.
Is it possible to implement locks on variables? Will it be efficient?
Is there a simulator for the i860 or similar architecture CPU's 
available via public domain facilities.

Thanks,
Subbiah.
