DEF

Processeur d'un type particulier qui permet aux processeurs informatiques de communiquer entre eux à grande vitesse grâce en particulier au langage Occam et au D-LINK.

CONT

La société Inmos a développé en 1983 un processeur pouvant être monté en parallèle : le transputer. Ce processeur possède 4 paires de liens monodirectionnels.

CONT

OCCAM et les transputers tendent à s'imposer comme des standards de fait en matière de parallélisme, sans doute à cause de leur prix peu élevé, de leur modularité et de leur puissance.
