Some questions on Parallel C by 3L :
I wrote an example (multi-tasking) program, then placed all tasks
on the root transputer. It worked.
I changed the configuration to place some tasks on other transputers.
It did not work. The message was:
Failed to send boot file: Something.app
Server terminated : Cannot not boot root tranputer.
The configuration (WIRE statements and channels) seems to be OK.
There are not any problems with the TDS on any machine I have tried this
(both AT's and XT's).
My question is the following : Based on the instructions/example in the
beginning of the "Parallel C User Guide" the only thing that changes
when you add transputers to the network is the "something.cfg" file
turning to "somethingelse.cfg" (with added processors, wires).
Re-configuring (based on the *same* .b4 files) gives out the correct
multi-transputer .app (application)
However near the end of the book, ("loading a network of multiple
transputers") you can read the phrase "For the multiple transputer
case, a more complex .b4 file must be produced by the configurer."
The configurer builds a larger .app file for the multiple-Transputer case,
but does not change the original .b4's anywhere.
Have I missed anything ? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I would like you to post your answer, not because "I dont have time to
read this newsgroup" but because we now have problems with news distribution
and the answer might expire before I read it.
