I once proposed, in an SBIR to the NSF, that MAPLE from U @ Waterloo be
ported to transputer-based multicomputers.  Unfortunately, 3 of 4 reviewers
called my ideas "niave," and the project was not funded.  Massively parallel
symbolic computation is coming of age.  The Deprit's at NIST have actually
built a symbolic computation system for the connection machine.  For the
transputer, only time will tell.  I don't think you'll see Mathematica or
MACSYMA, because these codes are huge toxic wastedumps, and are unlikely to
be decomposed and parallelized to run on more than one cpu.
