Nevertheless we are lacking information about Linda systems (commercial, operational, underway) that can generate code, either on bare transputers or on transputers running on some operating system (e.g. Helios, Trollius). Any info about research sites or companies offering (developing) Linda on transputers will be welcome. Please E-mail the responses. In case of interesting responses, I'll post a summary of them to the net. Thanks in advance, -- Jose L.

There are several groups doing some sort of work with Linda on transputers. The Trolius people (in particular Moshe Branner at Cornell) have a version of Linda called Brenda, but it is very limited. At one time, Topologix had a version of Linda that ran on their hardware, but I'm not sure of the current status. And of course, here at Cogent Research we have an implementation of Linda called Kernel Linda that we have used as the basis of a UNIX-like operating system. Kernel Linda is a subset of Linda in that it only supports tuples with a single key (this was required in order to avoid the preprocessing step required of Yale Linda, which could not be done in an operating system). Kernel Linda also supports many advanced features, like multiple tuple spaces, language-independent communication, and so on. We plan on adapting the Yale proprocessor to use Kernel Linda as the Linda run-time system. If anyone would like more information, we would be glad to send it.
