%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.
