  abstract= "This paper summarises the experiences gained at the Control
     Laboratory of the University of Twente in porting the Kent
     Retargetable occam Compiler - KroC - to the Analog Devices’
     ADSP21060 SHARC Digital Signal Processor. The choice of
     porting the KRoC to the DSP processor was in our view both a
     challenge and an absolute necessity because DSP processors
     are an important ingredient in modern day control systems.
     Currently, our implementation contains the most important
     occam primitives such as channel communication, PAR, ALT,
     and most of the integer arithmatic. Furthermore, a basic
     kernel was realised, providing channel-communication based
     scheduling only. This porting process, using quite
     straight-forward modifications of the SPARC KRoC-translator,
     was done within six weeks. A representative benchmark was
     constructed, showing that the 33Mhz SHARC-KRoC
     implementation is 40\% faster than the the 25Mhz T800 using
     the INMOS D7205 Toolset."
