There are several groups doing some sort of work with Linda on
transputers.  The Trolius people (in particular Moshe Branner at
Cornell) have a version of Linda called Brenda, but it is very
limited.  At one time, Topologix had a version of Linda that ran on
their hardware, but I'm not sure of the current status.

And of course, here at Cogent Research we have an implementation of
Linda called Kernel Linda that we have used as the basis of a UNIX-like
operating system.  Kernel Linda is a subset of Linda in that it only
supports tuples with a single key (this was required in order to avoid
the preprocessing step required of Yale Linda, which could not be done
in an operating system).  Kernel Linda also supports many advanced
features, like multiple tuple spaces, language-independent
communication, and so on.  We plan on adapting the Yale proprocessor to
use Kernel Linda as the Linda run-time system.

If anyone would like more information, we would be glad to send it.
