Abstract
The paper discusses the parallel programming lessons learnt from the ESPRIT SuperNode project that developed the T800 Transputer. After a brief review of some purportedly portable parallel programming environments, the Genesis parallel benchmarking project is described. The next generation of Transputer components are being developed in the ESPRIT-2 PUMA project and the goals of this project are briefly outlined. The paper closes with some speculations on the possibility of truly general-purpose parallel computing and reviews the work of Valiant.
