TRANSPUTER SUPPORT CENTRE

Announcements
-------------
The Transputer Support Centre at Southampton will be formally
Open as of 24th June 1988, after 9 months of 'unofficial'
ativities. At the same time the INMOS B001260 machine will be
commissioned! This is a large array of 1260 T212 transputers,
and is on long-term loan to the Centre from INMOS. Our intention
is to make this unique machine available for the first time to
the T-using public, along with the other systems already
available to our customers for use at the Centre (INMOS, MEIKO
M10 and an ESPRIT totally reconfigurable prototype machine).
New Course Announcements
------------------------
"Applying the Transputer"
1/2 day seminar - Free!
This event is intended to introduce the potential user of
transputer technology to the transputer and its capabilities.
The seminar will consist of a number of talks and demonstrations,
followed by a question and answer session.
"Occam 2 Programming"
3 days - 400.00 pounds inc. VAT
Includes lectures and hands-on experience of occam2 programming
using the INMOS TDS or the MEIKO MDS environments. The lecture
course covers use of TDS or MDS, the basic Occam 2 syntax,
including parallelism (on single or multi-transputer systems) and
debugging. Programming exercises tackled in parallel with the
lectures provide a step-by-step introduction to the problems of
parallel computing and solutions using the occam2 language.
"Occam 2 for Distributed Software Engineering"
3 days - 400.00 pounds inc. VAT.
This course is based around a series of lectures covering
advanced Occam 2 programming techniques. Includes design
paradigms, advanced library usage, deadlock and termination, and
transputer implementation of occam2. Also covered are some
formal aspects of parallel programming with reference to software
reliability.
