I shipped 5 applications on an 800 Inmos Transputer supercomputer. Sold my parallel C compilers, macro Assembler. Also an OS, Macintosh Nubus interface card, Transputer graphics cards, a full paper copier and laserprinter. I know of dozens of successful products.
- deviantbit 2y agoSure you did. What were they? The only successful transputer was the T414 and it never made it outside academia.
- __d 2y agoWell, I believe there were military radar projects that shipped in reasonable quantities and served for reasonable lifetimes. I think I remember some medical imaging products as well? I don’t dispute that the Transputer was ultimately unsuccessful, but it wasn’t completely unused in real-world products. See also TI’s C40, which was quite similar and similarly successful.
