Should I look for a system with a PC host or would I be better off using a SUN, DEC, HP, or some other workstation? (I currently have a DECstation 3100.) What would be the approximate price for a system with 4 transputers and how much would it cost to expand to 16 or 64 processors. Also, a while down the road I might like to use a parallel computer system to do some of our medical imaging processing. I'd prefer a system I can grow with so I think a high data transfer rate between the host and transputers would be neccessary as would the ability to handle lots of RAM (16 M or more).
