%B OUG\-13: Real\-Time Systems with Transputers
%X The design is discussed of a toolset capable of estimating
   the performance of a transputer application at the design
   stage, prior to detailed code being available. The
   Transim/Gecko package from the Polytechnic of Central London
   is discussed in detail as an example of such a toolset. The
   methodology of the package is discussed, its input language,
   output format and the transputer scheduling model to which
   it adheres. An example is described of a real transputer
   application where the tool has been successfully used to
   improve performance.
