About this product

Product Information

The book first introduces the language in enough detail, and with sufficient examples, to enable the reader to start writing occam programs. Chapter two, on the implementation of simple programs, covers the Occam Programming System, configuration, EXEs, programs for one transputer and then programs for more than one transputer. Chapter three discusses implementation of an occam program on a network of transputers. This is tackled via a conceptually simple case study with a high degree of parallelism (which also produces interesting pictures). Chapter four, covering Parallel Algorithms, looks at Transputer Hardware, Event Parallelism, Geometric Parallelism and Algorithmic Parallelism. Further examples are given in Chapter five (a load-balancing pipeline and a mouse interface). Chapter six is a survey of Parallel Architectures, covering basic architectures, some specific computers and new technologies.
