	The Inmos Legacy
		There are companies that were founded by Inmos people, there are the companies where Inmos staff have entered senior positions and there is the more intangible area of the influence that Inmos has had on the electronics industry as a whole.
		The roll call of major companies where Inmos alumni are in senior positions is large, as perhaps it should be, as Inmos was able to be very selective in recruitment.
		While Inmos failed in persuading most people that it was possible to create parallel processing systems that are easy to programme, the ideas are refusing to die.

	INMOS Transputer
		The INMOS Transputer was a pioneering parallel processing microprocessor design of the 1980s from INMOS, a small UK based company.
		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.
		INMOS attempted to correct this with the introduction of the T9000.

	PATSCENTER, PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY, USA
		And Patscenter is smaller, the first phase being 40 000 sq ft compared with Inmos' 85 000 sq ft, while the suspended beams span 1.26 m from the central spine compared with Inmos 40m.
		Nevertheless Patscenter is an evolution from Inmos, the structure developed with Peter Rice of Ove Arup & Partners being a dramatic simplification of that by Tony Hunt and his team (see AR detail, December 1982).
		The most obvious simplifications are that the filigreed lattice elements, the twin rows of cross-braced towers and the sleekly sculpted joints of Inmos are replaced by chunky industrial sections, the simplest of A-frames and bold circular joints.

		INMOS lnternational was founded in 1978 with equity funding of £65M from the British Government’s National Enterprise Board.
		INMOS has achieved technical success based on its leadership position in products and process technology and it invests substantially in research and development, averaging 18% of revenues since inception.
		During this period INMOS will be considering the options of manufacturing the static RAMs itself, using a foundry or licensing the parts to be manufactured by another company or a combination of the 3 options.

		INMOS Ltd. was a British semiconductor company based in Bristol and incorporated in November 1978.
		In the meantime, INMOS had been sold to Thorn-EMI for £95M in September 1984.
		Other devices produced by INMOS included the A100, A110 and A121 digital signal processors, G364 framebuffer, and a line of video RAMDACs, including the G171, which was adopted by IBM for the original VGA graphics adapter used in the IBM PS/2.

		But Mrs Thatcher decided she didn't want Inmos, so it was politically unacceptable to recognise that we had been successful.
		Inmos was not the only company to suffer at that time and two or three semiconductor companies actually went under as a result.
		Her one basic idea about Inmos could not be changed, and that was that Inmos had been started by Tony Benn.

	WoTUG - Occam Language
		Occam is a parallel processing language designed by a team at INMOS in conjunction with the design of the transputer processor, and based on T. Hoare's ideas of CSP.
		However, some authors use example written in occam3 to describe algorithms because of the richness of this version of the language, and a number of features of the language are still being applied to the current compilers.
		The libraries themselves are distrbuted with the INMOS occam compiler, obtainable in the tds3 source and with the Linux source versions of KRoC.

	Richard Rogers Summary
		The Inmos microchip plant (1982) in Newport, Gwent, Wales, presented Rogers with an exacting task just as IRCAM had, but instead of refined acoustics, a high degree of environmental control was needed.
		Inmos also wanted a friendly environment for its employees and maximum flexibility for an evolving industry.
		A natural evolution from the Inmos plant is seen in the research and development facility Rogers designed for Patscenter International (1983) in Princeton, New Jersey.

		These are the INMOS distributed Z-buffer, a near real time multiprocessor solution to the hidden surface problem, and the INMOS multi-player flight simulator, a real time interactive combat simulator.
		The BSP-tree used in the INMOS flight simulator (Section 6) is an object-space algorithm which is efficient in memory usage, but uses floating point arithmetic to determine the ordering of polygons.
		This is the architecture used in the INMOS distributed Z-buffer (Section 5) and in the INMOS flight simulator (Section 6).

		Inmos Transputers are unique because they combine a processor, communications links and memory on a single chip.
		Inmos says the T9000 is easily scalable with no interface or buffer logic required to link multiple devices.

		Pistorio said it was "too early" to put a figure on the investment, but claimed that Inmos would continue to show a profit over the next year "although we will settle for a lower profits in return for accelerated growth".
		But Inmos' new managing director Michael Wright claimed that the Intel part was both complex and expensive, and "has been the subject of ridiculous performance claims".

	INMOS TO CONCENTRATE ON TRANSPUTER; 300 JOBS GO IN COLORADO AS STATICS COME HOME - CBRonline.com
		Inmos International Ltd managers were reportedly opposed to the idea of a Plessey takeover of the compani on the grounds that Plessey would want to close its pilot line in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and bring the work done there back home to the UK.
		So it is ironic that Inmos' present parent, Thorn EMI Plc yesterday announced that it was going to do just that.
		Describing the move as "the last in a series of measures taken over the past two years to restructure the company", Thorn pointed out that Transputers and Transputer-related parts already account for over 50% of turnover and are expected to account for 70% to 80% by 1989.

	Parallel Programming In C. Chap. II
		The actions necessary for the transputer to swap from one task to another are executed at the hardware level, freeing the system programmer of this task, and resulting in fast swap operations.
		When a task changes from active to inactive, it is removed from its associated linked-list and placed in what the Inmos documentation refers to as the workspace, which is a reserved area of memory.
		Because inactive tasks are removed from the link-lists, the processor does not suffer any overhead from them when it scans the lists to find the next task to run.

		Although the T series had no memory protection mechanism, there was no need for an OS on each node.
		There was quite an effort to write software (although INMOS did its best to prevent this by insisting that we should all use OCCAM) A C compiler was produced that included a nice message passing interface.
		Well (In my opinion) INMOS could not keep up with the other CPUs of the time (Although when the Transputer was first introduced it was very fast).

		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.

		The Occam 3 specification is available, but no compiler was created for this variant of the language, partly due to problems within INMOS and its subsequent takeover.
