[comp.sys.transputer] Linda on Transputers

ENGLE@A.ISI.EDU (05/24/89)

There is also a company in New York, Human Devices, who runs Linda on
their >horus >ompute-Server.  They have a very nice interface to Macs.

Dear Mailing List:

Sorry for posting this on the list instead of mailing it out indivi=
dually, but I've seen several requests concerning Linda on transputers
during the last few weeks, and I was unable to mail some of the
senders (e.g. Craig Faasen) directly...

***

I've heard about the following Linda projects on transputers:
* A commercial Linda (C, other languages later) is under development
  at SCA (the Linda company) in cooperation with Inmos (for Xmas).
  I don't have contact persons or email addresses, perhaps ask Prof.
  Gelernter...
* Perry Busalacci (busalacc@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu) has to do something
  with Linda on transputers, I'm not sure what exactly he is doing.
* All the hardware and software of Cogent is based on Linda. It is a
  very nice and powerful product, and it is based on transputers, but
  they have added special hardware. Ask Wm Leler (wm@cse.ogc.edu).
* A student at Edinburgh (Neil MacDonald, erck19@castle.ed.ac.uk) is
  implementing Linda (C, than Prolog and perhaps Lisp) on their Meiko
  Computing surface, and another student has once implemented Linda
  Lisp on that machine.
* Topologix once had Linda running on their transputer boards for Suns.

I hope that helps...

Dear list,

There wasn't much talk about Linda on the Transputer list. Nevertheless Linda  
appeals to me as a concept to express parallelism and I would like to known  
if anyone knows of a Transputer-based version - either planned, or under  
development, or available.
Please e-mail any information directly to me and if there should be enough  
interest, I will summarize to the net.

Cheers, Helmut  (W9/DH0MAD) _________________________________________________
