The use of transputers in processing telemetry data

Parallelism will be an essential ingredient of high performance systems of the future. The Inmos transputer is a high performance single-chip computer whose architecture facilitates the construction of parallel processing systems. Occam is a high level language developed for use with the Inmos transputer. This paper describes a project to evaluate the feasibility of using the transputer to implement real time processing of telemetry data.
