%X This paper describes the performance of a multigrid method
   implemented on a transputer\-based architecture. We show
   that the combination of fast floating\-point hardware, local
   memory and fast communication links between processors
   provide an excellent environment for the parallel
   implementation of multigrid algorithms. The gain in
   efficiency obtained by increasing the number of processors
   is shown to be nearly linear and comparisons are made with
   published figures for a parallel multigrid Poisson solver on
   an Intel iPSC 32\-node hypercube.
