- I need someone to help me to clarify the following basic questions
- since I have not much knowledge on parallel processing.
-
- Background of the questions:
- The questions are from a project which requires us to use multi
- transputers for parallel processing. Also, both C and Prolog languages
- will be used in this project. Every transputer is supposed to run
- a module developed using either C or Prolog. The main program should
- be able to run under a Window envirement. My questions are about
- selection of Hardware for this project.
-
- 1. May I use PC (386 or 486) to communicate with transputers so that
- the main program developed in C run under the MS windows 3.1 can
- communicate with other modules, developed in either C or Prolog,
- which are run in transputers? If yes, what should I buy in order
- to perform the task (assuming MS windows, C, Prolog,and PC computers
- are available)?
- 2. The second question is same as the first one except that the
- operating system is UNIX runing in a PC machine. Of course, the
- window should be either X-windows or Motif.
-
- Can you suggest me some papers or books to read in terms of the above
- questions?
-
- Thanks in advance.
