The CM-2 didn't work that way.
If you declared a 64-bit value, it went "down" each processor's memory, so that it would still be 64K values.
Interestingly, you could ask the machine to consider itself as having twice the CPUs (each with half the memory) and so have 128k, 256k, etc. processors.
Ah, come to think about it, if you had the floating-point accelerator chips, you could program it "slice-wise", which was kind of what you're talking about. Our CM-2 didn't have them, so I never did it, so... ask someone else :-)
