Transputer Motherboard User Manual

The transputer has to be in this state before a user program can be
loaded onto it.
There are two basic control architectures that are commonly used:
•
the host computer controls all of the processors in the system.
This configuration is suitable for the Inmos toolsets and 3L
scientific languages where the various tools in the programming
environment (compilers, linkers etc.) are invoked from the host
computer. Figure 8 shows what this looks like.
•
the host computer controls only one transputer - the root or
master transputer. This configuration is suitable for occam TDS
users and also for Inmos toolset users who wish to use the
interactive debugger, where a program (i.e. the TDS) runs on the
master processor while other processors in the network are
controlled from the master processor’s subsystem port and are
called a subnetwork. This enables TDS or the interactive
debugger to boot/debug the other processors. Figure 9 shows
the situation.
In order for the host computer to be able to control any transputers
the motherboard or transputer host interface board must be set up
correctly. See the relevant manual for your host
adaptor/motherboard.
