  abstract=      "The transputer is a flexible processor, very well suited for
     applications where modularity and distributed operation are
     prime requirements, like in process control. Nevertheless,
     its basic FIFO-scheduling algorithm, makes its application
     for real-time processing quite difficult. This problem has
     now been solved by the development of a preemptive
     scheduling algorithm. This algorithm was used to port an
     existing real-time kernel to the Transputer. In addition, by
     taking account of the specific nature of the Transputer,
     much better performance and flexibility have been obtained."
