Ohio Trollius 2.1 is in release. We don't make releases very often because we put alot into them. A complete list of new or changed features and fixed bugs accompanies the release. Most importantly, 2.1 runs "out of the can" on Meiko VCS, Transtech MCP and Inmos B014. We will next support the Parsytec VME boards, our fourth and probably last transputer system port. With support from Inmos, we will definitely support the added features of the H1. Otherwise we will port to the iWarp or i860 or maybe even 80386. I would like to be one of the last people standing on the field with Intel before they crush me like an empty Budweiser can. I still think the transputer is a great chip with a unique role in the distributed memory MIMD market. Ohio Trollius licenses are $300 US which includes all source and documentation. Trollius must be accompanied by the Logical Systems Transputer Toolset, which costs $995 US for source or $595 US for binaries. A reasonable level of consultation is provided on an ongoing basis. Updates are free. An individual training course in Trollius/C, Trollius/F77 or Trollius internals is available and without fee. -=- Greg Burns gdburns@tbag.osc.edu Trollius Project Leader (614) 292-8492 Research Computing The Ohio State University Trollius Factory Outlet 3.0: The Big Picture
