%T Real\-time Performance Evaluation Issues for Transputer Networks %A M. Tokhi, M. Hossain, M. Baxter, P. J. Fleming %E Patrick Nixon %B Proceedings of WoTUG\-18: Transputer and occam Developments %X This paper presents an investigation into the critical issues involved in real\-time performance evaluation of a transputer network. Issues such as algorithm partitioning, mapping, inter\-processor communication, granularity, regularity and compilers efficiency for numerical computation are investigated and presented in this chapter. A finite difference simulation algorithm for a flexible beam in transverse vibration evaluation is made, demonstrating fast processing techniques for real\-time implementations.
