%E Stephen J. Turner %B OUG\-12: Tools and Techniques for Transputer Applications %X A brief survey of current Parallel Processing literature reveals a large number of highly application specific architectures [1] [2] [3] [4]. The arrival of the Transputer [5] has done little to alleviate this situation, in fact the only constraint on custom architectures seems to be the number of communication links currently supported by the Transputer. The lack of generality in such architectures is expensive and often makes future system expansion difficult. The objective of this paper is to show that by accepting some compromise on performance, general purpose multiprocessor systems can be analytically designed.
