My current research at the University of Durham focuses on the problem
of allocating real-time DSP tasks to feasible transputer/DSP hybrid
architectures. At present, the problems of combinatorial explosion inherent
in this field are becoming apparent, resulting in huge execution times for
even relatively uncomplex task forces. In the future it will be necessary
to port several algorithms to a machine capable of processing speeds in
the order of 10s of MIPS.
Does anyone out there have any experience (good or bad) with running:
o ProLog
o Modula-2
on a multiple transputer engine?
Thanks in advance for your efforts.
Ken

We have developed a hybrid modula/occam compiler, currently running on T4's but soon to be extended. The compiler provides conventional modula, a comms module + par, al and guard extensions to allow occam like programming within a modula frame. If you want any more details then give us a bell Richard Taylor Adaptive Systems Group Dept Electronics University of York ps. currently runs under Unix + Xwindows for graphical debugger, but should port to MSDOS (compiler only) without too many problems.
