I had already completed this a good while back, using a NUMA alpha box and compaq's UPC compiler. Unfortunately the disk on my local alpha crashed and the source changes were lost. It was not _that_ big a deal for the data structures. It was more of a change in how they schedule processes on processors. Rather than a fork()/tfork() type mechanism, I had to manually start a "slave" on each CPU except for one, which I thought was pretty ugly.
