	INMOS Transputer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The INMOS Transputer was a pioneering parallel computing microprocessor design of the 1980s from INMOS, a small English company based in Bristol.
		INMOS saw them being used for practically everything, from operating as the main CPU for a computer, to acting as a channel controller for disk drives in the same machine.
		The Transputer's lack of support for virtual memory inhibited the porting of mainstream variants of the UNIX operating system, though ports of UNIX-like operating systems (such as Minix and Idris from Whitesmiths) were produced.

		The INMOS Transputer was a pioneering parallel processing microprocessor design of the 1980s from INMOS, a small UK based company.
		The first Transputer models were the 16-bit T212 and the 32-bit T414, announced in 1983 and released in 1984/5.
		Nor did the Transputer include an MMU, although in a stack based system this isn't terribly important, as addresses are almost always offsets and don't require complex translation.

	Meiko Scientific - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When management suggested the release of the Transputer be delayed, Miles Chesney and David Alden resigned and started work, along with four other colleagues, on massively-parallel machines based on the CPU.
		Nine weeks later they demonstrated a Transputer system at the SIGGRAPH in San Francisco in July 1985, which was released in 1986 as the Meiko Computing Surface.
		As the speed of the Transputer fell in relation to the other RISC chips on the market (the competitive T9000 took too long to ship) Meiko added the ability to replace the T800's with Intel i860s.

	Embedded - Transputers, Extinct But Not Forgotten (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Note that since transputers are able to work as processing elements in multi-processor systems, it is common to have transputers interfaced to memory alone.
		A channel may be between two processes running on a single transputer, in which instance the channel is implemented using a word in memory, or a channel may be between processes executing on separate transputers, where the channel is implemented using the high-speed, external links.
		The INMOS C104 is the companion router to the T9000.

		It is a microprocessor made by Inmos Ltd. Compared to other microprocessors the transputer has two very special features: it has on chip serial links for "talking" to other transputers, and it has hardware support for timesharing.
		Clearly the assembly programming of the transputer should not be necessary, you can do everything in occam or C - but the interest seems to be there.
		The Inmos book is the reference that you have to have, but it is somewhat special and not that easy to grasp.

	tForth: Forth for the Transputer
		Considering the fact that a transputer context switch is in effect a change of the workspace, we decided to put all of the Forth administration in the workspace.
		A transputer Forth conforming to the Forth 83 standard is a bad idea, as that explicitly requires the use of a 16-bit model [9].
		To a transputer a cell is not equivalent to four bytes in a row, as a cell address should be a multiple of four.

		The INMOS Transputer was a pioneering parallel computing processor of the 1980s from the Welsh chip design company INMOS.
		The "lower" nibble contained data, either for arithmetic operations, for addressing memory, or as an operand to the indirect opcode, which was used to add more instructions to those available using the the 16 possible using a nibble.
		One big advantage of this scheme was that it permitted 16 bit and 32-bit transputers to share the same binary format and, in many cases, the same compiled programs.

	Parallel Programming In C For the Transputer.
		Its target is the Inmos transputer, a RISC processor with networking capabilities which has gained a good reputation in Europe and is now becoming increasingly popular in the United States.
		I chose the transputer because it offers good cost/performance trade-offs, making it attractive for small computer science or computer engineering departments, as well as for individual and/or engineers interested in faster processing speed for their PC, MacIntosh, or work station.
		This is followed by a presentation of the architecture of the transputer, a RISC processor augmented with on-chip memory and four ports, allowing various network topologies (Chapter 2).

		To complement the launch of the INMOS Transputer in October 1985, a number of evaluation boards were designed, to allow the world to evaluate the performance / ease of use of the transputer.
		As the memory interface controller on the transputer generates all of the signals needed, the only logic required are buffer and latch devices, the buffers used to multiplex the Row and Column addresses, and to drive the long PCB tracks along the memory array.
		As the transputer can be programmed to supply all the timing signals necessary to build an external memory system, the design of a transputer system consists mainly of latching and buffering address, data, and control lines to provide sufficient drive current to take board capacitance etc into account.

		The Inmos transputer (1985) changed things dramatically by placing communication processors on the chip with the main processor so that the processor was not hindered by having to maintain communications whilst performing other operations.
		In 1994 Inmos announced the development of the T9000 transputer which helps to remove the problem of routing and the requirement to rewrite programs to a particular architecture by providing a virtual routing capability.
		Whilst still requiring large granularity processes with limited communication in order to achieve reasonable speed-up, it has opened up access to parallel programming to the wider programming community.
