A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION:

	The Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of 
	Hawaii is considering buying a transputer based parallel
	system for hardware/software development work. We currently 
	have an AMETEK System 14 hypercube and a Symult Series 2010
	and desire a third system with reconfigurability and improved 
	floating point performance.

	We would greatly appreciate any information from academic users
	as to particular vendors or configurations of transputers which
	they have found to be useful (or not so useful). Not only are we 
	interested in hardware platforms, but also in the software and 
	program development environment which is provided. We have a wide 
	range of users from beginning undergraduates to experienced parallel
	programmers. Any information you can provide would be appreciated 
	and may be addressed to:

			tim@wiliki.eng.hawaii.edu

	If there are sufficient responses, I will gladly post a summary
	to the net.

	We will also gladly accept inquiries and information from vendors 
	(both hardware and software) either by email, phone, or surface mail.
	Our goal is to put together a system providing maximum utility for 
	the development of parallel processing software.

	Thanks in advance for your assistance.
