My name's Birger Andersen and I'm working on a Ph.D. project at the
University of Copenhagen, Denmark. We've just ordered some transputer
components from Inmos to put on one of our Sun 3 workstations, making a
Sun-based programmable network of 16 T800 transputers.
   Since one of my goals is to design and implement an object-based language
for network computers supporting object allocation and mobility transparently,
I'm now looking for message routing software for transputer networks. The
software should be able to route messages of any length from any source
node/process to any destination node/process in any network without
deadlocks. If anyone has heard about such software, which is available now,
I'd very much like to know it, since it'd cut off the trivial work of writing
it myself.
   We're also looking for a C compiler for our Sun-based transputer network.
If you know about a good one, please let me know.
