In today's highly competitive environment, the transputer market provides Europe with a great number of important assets. From the first transputer with its four links and OCCAM language, which opened the door to a whole series of distributed memory machines, to the T9000 with the C104 and the standardization of software programs, progress in this field has come a long way. The new transputer generation, the prospects for distributed memory machines, the major projects planned by the EEC and other organizations, the state of the art in performance evaluation, scheduling and message passing are the topics which this work addresses. Papers are presented on the following research themes: architecture; operating systems; applications, particularly in the field of graphics; performance; placement and communication structures; and automatic parallelization.
