Dear bulletin board readers,
 
We have been working with the rule-based language OPS5 for building
production systems for some time and we like it. It runs nicely on
VAX systems, but it might go a lot faster if implemented on transputer
systems.
 
Is there anyone out there who has done the work of implementing OPS5 on a
transputer system, or who has a source of the OPS5 language in a normal
programming language (preferably C), which we could parallelize ourselves.
 
I know there is a company in Japan who has tried to do it, but I don't have
any recent information about how far they have got, nor have I been able to
extract their address from a Japanese paper I have about it.
 
Does anyone (e.g. out there in Japan) have information about this or other
companies who have tried to implement OPS5 on a transputer system, or does
anyone know where I can get a C source of a language implementation ?
 
People in the neighbourhood of Columbia University, N.Y., might be able to
tell me the current state of the work on the DADO machine, which was a
massively parallel machine for running production systems.
