Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me if there is any C compilers for the Transputers? Who makes the C compiler? And which one is the best one? Many many thanks. -- Mike my@berlioz.nsc.com

What I liked was that the same code could be run on transputer and Suns. It is even possible to run a program on several transputers and several Sparcs. As far as I have seen the libraries are highly Unix compatible with a large number of routines for parallel processing and communication. I don't know if this C compiler is good in comparison to other products but I like what I've seen. I also haven't studied the code generation of the compiler. Richard.

I may be a little biased in recommending INMOS products :-), however,
if you are looking for C and C++ compilers you might consider contacting
INMOS.
The INMOS ANSI C toolset has been fully validated by the British Standards
Institute to be ANSI C compliant. The toolset was validated using the
Plum Hall Validation suite version 2.0 around September 1990. The
toolset contains compiler, linker, librarian, code collector, network
configurer, makefile generator, debugger, simulator, file lister and a
few other things besides. Libraries supplied with the toolset provide
full ANSI C libraries and extra functions for instance for creating
parallel processes. An inline assembler allows access to the transputer
instruction set.
The Glockenspiel C++ product works with the INMOS ANSI C toolset.
Glockenspiel C++ is a full version of C++ version 2 and, by being
available for more than 40 development platforms offers portability
and high design integrity. Glockenspiel were the first company to
license C++ from AT&T and have been actively involved in the ANSI X3J16
committee set up to define an international standard for C++.
INMOS ANSI C is available today from INMOS distributors for PC's, Sun 3,
Sun 4 and VAX/VMS machines.
Glockenspiel C++ is available today from INMOS distributors and from
Glockenspiel for PC's, Sun 3 and Sun 4 machines. VAX/VMS versions will
be available soon.

And which one is the best one? If you're interested in an ANSI C compiler with language extensions supporting the transputer's powerful parallel processing capabilities, and better than average performance, you should consider the PACT Parallel C Compiler. Please contact me (rob@pact.nl) for more information, as this sort of advertisement doesn't really belong on the net.
