Transputer Users :
 
Multiple Host Connection into Network
-------------------------------------
 
This is something that I tried out for the sake of interest. I found that
it is possible to attach 2 host transputers to the same network - specif-
ically, to connect 2 transputer-based ATs to a 16-processor Parsytec
SuperCluster. This obviously provides 2 means of getting information into
the network, and 2 monitors for displaying output.
 
Now I'm trying to figure out what can be done with it. A couple of appli-
cations that come to mind are
# monitoring
# using both hosts to transmit data into the network (i.e. reducing the
  overhead of initial distribution)
(Of-course there is also great potential for the construction of some
really interesting games).
 
I would be interested to know if there are any existing applications that
make use of multiple host connection, or if anyone can think of any other
uses for the scheme ...
