After a long day of compiling and wandering through snow sculptures in
Houghton, Michigan, Trillium is now available for the Floating Point
Systems T-40.

Up until then, it was known only to run on T-20's.  We are now also
Ultrix 1.2 compatible.  We'd really like to thank the friendly folks at
Michigan Technological University for giving us the opportunity to use
their systems.  We had a lot of fun and a real adventure getting into
and out of Houghton...

For the uninformed, a T-20 is a 16 node, Transputer based hypercube with
a 10 MFLOP or so vector processor bolted on to each node.  A T-40 is
simply 2 T-20's (ie: 32 nodes) cabled together.  Trillium is a message-
passing operating system developed at Cornell that, to the level of
source-code compatibilty, provides a homogeneous C and Fortran environment
from each Transputer in a T-Series to your favorite Sun workstation.

Trillium -- coming soon to a Transputer system near you... :^)
