[net.micro] OCCAM/Transputer

kevinw%su-dsn@sri-unix.UUCP (12/19/83)

Has anyone have any evaluations of OCCAM or the Transputer??
OCCAM is a process-oriented language (see 30 November 1983
Electronics pp. 89+ for article) designed to easily develop
concurent processing systems.  There are evaluation kits for
Apple, IBM-PC, ... using the SCUD p-System...  Anyone tried
one of these?

The Transputer is a computer architecture from Inmos which
is designed for multi-processor concurrent systems advertising
a 32 bit 10 mips cpu and is supposed to be extremely good for
OCCAM.  Has anyone got any concrete information (other than the
really nice glossy stuff from Inmos?

Thanks in advance,
