Introduction to occam 2 on the Transputer.
Macmillan. 1989
Developed from undergraduate courses on concurrency,
this concise text aims to provide support for practical programming
in concurrency using the occam 2 language.
No previous experience of writing parallel programs is assumed,
although a general knowledge of programming techniques will
assist the reader to obtain the most benefit from the book.
Since the language occam 2 was devised as the primary language for the Inmos transputer, the authors begin with an overview of the transputer, followed by a description of its novel architecture. Chapter 3 outlines the notation of occam 2, while chapter 4 examines the data types available within the language.
In chapter 5 the authors consider the constructs provided within occam 2, illustrated with examples. Arithmetic expressions are described in chapter 6, while the final chap e considers procedures and functions.
