Monads-MM

The Monads-MM ("massive main memory") was never completed, but it played an important role in the project in the late 1980s and early 1990s as the system which would not only have a massive main memory ­ at the time of its original conception in 1986 we were considering a main memory in the order of several gigabytes ­ but would also have 128 bit virtual addresses, allowing objects worldwide to be named uniquely. David Koch did most of the design work.
