                      Trollius and the Transputer 
                               Workshop

                            April 11-13, 1989

                              presented by
             Advanced Computing Facility / Cornell Theory Center


     The Advanced Computing Facility of the Cornell Theory Center is
offering a three-day workshop on Trollius and the transputer
April 11-13, 1989, at the Center's CNSF Training Facility in Ithaca, NY.
Trollius, the distributed operating system designed by the ACF, will 
be discussed along with information on the transputer, the primary 
processor on which Trollius runs.
	The Workshop focuses on two areas.  For those interested 
in details about the Trollius operating system, an internals sessions 
will be presented.  For those interested in applications, concurrent 
workshops will provide the opportunity to use Trollius on ACF computing
resources, and to discuss and design personal applications.  
In additions, Inmos, the company which designed the transputer, will 
host a session describing the transputer (particularly the T-800) 
and the Inmos family of transputer chips.  The ACF's NiCHE NT-1000 
16 node transputer system and Topologix T-1000 4-node transputer 
system will be used by workshop participants. 
	
		Sessions include: 

			Introduction to Trollius 
			Introduction to application programming 
			Trollius Applications 
			Trollius Internals 
			Trollius Porting 
			The Inmos transputer

The workshop begins at 9am on Tuesday, April 11, and adjourns by 4pm on Thursday, April 13.
