[aus.mac] Levco Transputer cards for MacII

watson@mundoe.maths.mu.OZ.AU (Andrew Watson) (02/27/90)

Is there anybody out there who has had experience with Levco
Transputer add on cards for the Mac II? A few things i want to know in
particular are:



1  what is the config hard & soft ware needed to run existing c programs?

2  if i have a piece of scientific c code - nothing special, how much
gain will i get above running on a std Mac II under MPW or THINK c?

3  during execution, does the coporcessor take over the machine till
its done or is the coprocessor multifinder compatible?

4  how much does 'standard' c code need to be reworked to run on these
transputers?

5  are there any automatic parallizing compilers that will take advantage
of more than one transputer - if present in the system? 

Can anybody help?
