Abstract
The transputer has been described as a `building block´ for parallel processing systems. The IMS B420 (Vectram) has been developed to offer both scalar and vector processing in a single module. This module combines the scalar floating/integer and the general purpose capabilities of the transputer with a high performance vector/signal processing co-processor. A set of software libraries are available which allow programs, written in high level languages executing on the transputer, to call vector routines which execute on the coprocessor. The author describes the Vectram and some applications
