I would like to get some entry level information on transputers, especially detailed architecture overviews and general discussions on applications. Also, I would be interested in finding out about what environments exist above the hardware level, i.e. programming languages, etc. I am evaluating the possibility of developing such an environment as a Masters thesis, for example, developing a backend to either Smalltalk or C++ which would take advantage of the hardware. I would appreciate any information on where best to introduce myself to and learn about transputers ( other than this group ). Thanks for any and all responses.

My interest in the transputer is in using it as a concurrent real time signal/image processing graphics engine. This fall I will be attending SDSU for my MS degree. Perhaps we could get together and kick around some ideas on how to use this interesting device.

To Syd Logan,
There are quite a few books available at the moment
relating to transputers and occam. I have listed some of the
ones that I have found useful:
(1) Transputer reference manual
--an inmos book and published by prentice hall
(2) Inmos technical notes as listed in appendix C.2 of
reference manual.
and also
papers and extracts by inmos authors as in
appendix C.3 of the reference manual
and
papers and extracts as shown in appendix C4.
(3) Programming in OCCAM2 by Alan Burn
-- Addison Wesley
(4) Occam 2 reference manual from Inmos
-- published by Prentice Hall.
These should be a reasonably good strating point.
Good luck and good hunting.

I am posting this message to thank those who responded to my plea for
information on transputers. To some of you I tried returning mail but
had problems, in particular:
To Dyke Stiles of Utah State University: I would appreciate
any info that you can e-mail to me or, if you prefer, I
will pay postage for U.S. mail delivery of the papers that
you offered. I can be reached in care of Systems Integrated,
10635 Scripps Ranch Blvd., Suite F, San Diego Ca. 92131.
I would also like to thank Colin Plumb for his introduction to
programming in Transputer assembly language.
Thanks again.
