Hi netters,

I have a few questions about the dynamic reconfiguration of the
transputers.


1.  What is the primary purpose of dynamic reconfiguration ?
    Is it for fault tolerance or algorithm mapping, etc.?  I would 
    also like to hear about the various other purposes for which 
    the dynamic reconfiguration is used ?

2.  How is the code for a program supporting the reconfigurations done?
    Are there any tools available to aid the programmer in writing
    such programs especially if there are 100's of processors to
    reconfigure dynamically.

3.  Can I have a list of dynamically reconfigurable machines ?  This
    query was raised in the net some time ago, and I would like to 
    get this list.


I would also like to establish email contacts with people involved in
developing software for dynamically reconfigurable machines.  I would
like to discuss their experiences in developing such software, etc.


Thanks,

Madhan.
