It holds meetings in both Maryland and Virginia and has members from all over the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas. Most of its members are currently using transputers in their research or product lines, but some members are still evaluating the possibilities of the chip. WATUG was formed when several North American Transputer Users Group (NATUG) members realized that they all worked in this region but had never heard of each other. Now over seventy members have joined the group, attending monthly meetings that are centered around lectures about transputer research or products. WATUG offers several resources to transputer users. The membership list is an invaluable place to turn for informal help. The monthly lectures provide insight into current research and techniques. Soon, WATUG will have its own Transputer Education Kit for loan to prospective users. In addition, the WATUG Job Exchange Program provide its members with valuable information about job opportunities in the field of parallel processing (see sample below). But most of all, WATUG lets transputer users know they are not alone in their day- to-day efforts to program these pioneering chips. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sample of the information that the WATUG Job Exchange Program provides to its membership: >From Washington Post, Sunday 16, 1991 TRASPUTER SOFTWARE ENGINEERS PRESEARCH Incorporated, a progressive, growing engineering services firm with 27 years of experience, is currently seeking entry and mid level professionals to work for the Systems and Software Engineering Division in its Fairfax, Virginia office.
