%B OUG\-13: Real\-Time Systems with Transputers
%X 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.
