Abstract
Transputer — one more exotic appearance within the nearly immeasurable range of microprocessors? You might ask such a question, faced with the multitude of different processor types. The following article will point out the Transputer’s unique position amongst microprocessors. Not just a few look at the Transputer as the European answer to new and old processor architectures pouring in mostly from USA and Japan. This is especially true since SGS-Thompson, which is an important leader in European technologies, has taken over control in Transputers and has entered the processor market with stimulating offensiveness.
