I met an Australian fellow at the recent Boston Supercomputer Show and the
company he works for has a proprietary box chock full of Transputers, a
large percentage of which are tied together with shared memory and with
links.

I *believe* he said that there was a sum total of about 40 MB
of total shared memory, scattered about the machine.

My impression is that it is a digital effects generator for broadcast
video.
