[comp.lang.functional] Distributed memory systems

gadi@SHUM.HUJI.AC.IL (Gad Aharoni) (04/09/91)

We are thinking of getting a (real) distributed memory machine and we'd
like to gain on the experience of others before committing to a particular
system.  

I understand that most of the FP community uses Tranputers :-
- What runtime / Operating systems do you use ?
- Are there any decent C implementations ? or will we have to use Occam ?
  ( any decent functional language implementation ? )
- Other software tools such as debuggers ?

Is there anyone out there using anything other than Transputers ?

Is anyone using Meiko ? What's it like ( apart from being expensive ) ?

Any other good advice would be appreciated.

Please e-mail, I'll summarize.
