Transputer

A transputer is a specialized computer chip from the 1980s designed for parallel processing, meaning it can perform multiple tasks simultaneously. Unlike standard processors that handle one task at a time, transputers contain multiple processing units and direct communication links, allowing them to work together efficiently on complex calculations. This architecture made them suitable for applications like real-time control systems, simulations, and advanced computing tasks that require high speed and concurrency. In essence, transputers are building blocks for creating powerful, scalable, and efficient parallel computing systems.
