transputers การใช้

• The German company J鋑er Messtechnik used transputers for their early ADwin real-time data acquisition and control products.
• These included HERA collider at DESY was based on a network of over 300 synchronously clocked transputers divided into several subsystems.
• Spare cycles on any of these transputers could be used for other tasks, greatly increasing the overall performance of the machines.
• The Computing Surface architecture comprised multiple boards containing transputers connected together by their communications links via Meiko-designed link switch chips.
• Nine weeks later they demonstrated a transputer system based on experimental 16 bit transputers at the SIGGRAPH in San Francisco in July 1985.
• In 1986 a system based on 32 bit T414 transputers was launched as the "'Meiko Computing Surface " '.
• The Sun acted as " front-end " host system for managing the transputers, running development tools and providing mass storage.
• Several dozen Transputers, a special breed of parallel computers, were used to deal with the ( by 1990s standards ) enormous computational demands.
• The motherboard also contained three slots for additional " farm cards " containing four transputers each, meaning that a fully expanded ATW contained 13 transputers.
• The motherboard also contained three slots for additional " farm cards " containing four transputers each, meaning that a fully expanded ATW contained 13 transputers.
• To solve this problem Inmos also provided a zero-delay switch that connected up to 32 transputers ( or switches ) into even larger networks.
• Unlike other designs, transputers did not include I / O lines : these were to be added with hardware attached to the existing serial links.
• The links in the T212 and T414 / T424 transputers had hardware DMA engines so that transfers could happen in parallel with execution of other processes.
• In addition HeliOS ran on all of the transputers in a farm at " the same time ", which allowed all computing tasks to be fully distributed.
• The name was selected to indicate the role the individual transputers would play : numbers of them would be used as basic building blocks, just as transistors had earlier.
• Also in 1995, Dickmanns're-engineered autonomous Bavaria, Germany to Copenhagen, Denmark and back, using saccadic computer vision and transputers to react in real time.
• Although not strictly a transputer itself, the ST20 was heavily influenced by the T4 and T9 and did in fact form the basis of the T450 which was arguably the last of the transputers.
• A network consisting of 20 workstations ( DEC and Hewlett-Packard in two workstation labs ), Parsytec ( with 20 transputers and OS Parix ), and standard PCs connected to a network.
• This could have been mitigated to a large extent if machines had used multiple transputers as planned, but T800s cost about $ 400 each when introduced, which meant a poor price / performance ratio.
• The intention was to allow transputers to be connected together as easily as possible, without the requirement for a complex RAM, a RAM controller, bus support and even an RTOS were all built in.
