[comp.sys.transputer] Questions of T4 and T8 internal workings

murray@minster.york.ac.uk (11/11/88)

Hi,
   I've the following rather urgent questions about the transputer
and was wondering if someone can answer them, since the INMOS
datasheets that I have seem not to give the necessary info.

   In the occam memory map addresses #9 to #12 (18 decimal) on the
T4 and #9 to #1C (28 decimal) are reserved.  What values are stored
in each address?

   When the timer ticks (for either clock value) a process MAY become
runnable.  If this occurs is it placed on the run queue then, or
when the transputer next performs a process rescheduling? (i.e. is
the clock fully asynchronous or does it only check timer expiry
the transputer is doing process manipulation?)

   Many thanks,
		   Kevin
