I used one of these in college, programmed in occam to create a large (for the time) neural network for image processing.
The descendants of the transputer are the XMOS[1] chips that you can still buy today. Cool, but expensive enough that I tend to turn to fpga’s

- rwmj 4y agoI have vague memories of using either one of these or maybe an Intel iPSC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_iPSC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_iPSC) at Daresbury Labs back in the day to model pulse shapes. Whichever it was it was definitely i860-based and a hypercube interconnect, and I recall it was distinctly weird to program (but I think programmed in C, not Occam).
