We are in the process of selecting a processor to be used to implement a small (64 processors or less) parallel architecture. Our uniprocessor baseline is a 68030 running at 20 megaHertz and we would like to better its performance by 20 to 100 times. We will run a parallel production system, perhaps OPS5 or CLIPS. Parallelism will be at the rule or condition element level. This implies that we will not be doing heavy number crunching (mostly integers, no arrays, no vectors). Logical and numerical comparisons will be ubiquitous; hash tables and interprocessor communications too. We have a space problem so compactness is a plus. So far we've identified the transputers, the 88000, and the i860. We are interested in comments and recommendations about the suitability of these and other processors for our task.
