%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.
