Abstract
The revolutionary architecture of the Inmos transputer coupled with the Occam language makes it a powerful building block for parallel processing systems. In this Chapter key advantages of the transputer are highlighted, such as the simple means of communication between processors and the use of on-chip memory to enhance the speed of the processor. The Occam language is then introduced and the constructs which are of particular interest are explained in elementary terms with simple examples to show their typical use.
