[comp.sys.transputer] Trollius/Meiko

gdburns@TBAG.OSC.EDU (Greg Burns) (10/30/90)

The Ohio State University (OSU) and Meiko Scientific Corportation have
recently completed a port of Ohio Trollius to the Meiko In-Sun product line.
The work is incorporated into the official Ohio Trollius release software.
Meiko customers who are interested in Ohio Trollius are not faced with a
porting effort but only a simple installation.  Also, Ohio Trollius licensees
interested in Meiko hardware can get an immediate and complete solution.

Ohio Trollius cooperates with Meiko's Virtual Computing Surface (VCS) software
and can therefore co-exist with CSTools and TDS.  Multiple users can
be concurrently running a mixture of these three environments on separately
allocated node domains.  We have found VCS to be particularly strong in
a multi-user environment. 

Right now, the only supported compiler suite is the Logical Systems
Transputer Toolset (LSTT), which can be acquired through OSU.  OSU plans
also to support Meiko compilers in the near future.

OSU plans to directly support other hardware platforms in the near future.
