%B Communicating Process Architectures 2008
%X This talk will introduce the XMOS XS1\-G4 multi\-core
   device
and the associated development kit. The design tools
   and the
XC language which can be used to write concurrent
   software,
including direct access to physical input and
   output pins, will
be presented. The concurrency support in
   XC has its roots in CSP
and occam. The flexibility of the
   XS1 architecture will be shown by
demonstrating a number of
   applications; these include interfacing,
communications,
   motor control and media processing.
