Since everyone is asking what a Transputer is, think of it as an 80's version of a "golang machine", It is natively programmed using Occam and has CSP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_sequential_processes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_sequential_proce...) in hardware as its concurrency model.
It was typically used in military systems such as radar processing, but also found use in the Atari Transputer Workstation (ATW)(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Transputer_Workstation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Transputer_Workstation)
