%X This paper argues that one of the key techniques for making
   the most efective use of multi\-processor architectures is
   the serialisation of parallel code! Parallel algorithms are
   presented as having strong engineering merits that will form
   the natural basis for systems design in the future.
   Parallelisation of serial code is regarded as having only
   short\-term value (for "dusty\-decks",
   whose correctness cannot be verified) as well as being
   mathematically intractable. Serialisation, on the other
   hand, is much easier to automate and can be profitably
   employed today. Several serialising transforms for occam
   processes are presented and applied to various simulation
   and image compression tasks.
