Re: networked processors

few questions to ask.  If you you don't like the MISC processor, or the MISC
mailing list, or even the Forth language which is fundamental to the F21
instruction set, then don't subscribe to the MISC list.  It reminds me of
christian newsgroups being 90% atheist and atheist newsgroups being 90%
christian.  The only people being religious in here are the ones that don't
belong here.

*multiple* F21s being networked and treated as a single processor.  I know
there are several topologies that could be used - token ring, parallel,
star... what do you think should be used for the best performance gain?
What overhead is involved?

Sounds like Transputer. This has been tried and is out of fashion now, since
it appearantly
couldnt live up its promises..
