[comp.arch] What is a Transputer?

Can anyone tell me what a 'Transputer' is.  I have seen it mentioned
in this news group and in periodicals (Most recently in Digital Review,
talking about Atari).  I never encountered this beast in any of my
classwork.  Can someone provide me with a definition?

Thanks in advance,
