Blew my mind age 4. Then found out about the imos transputer. And robotics magazine. 70's were popping. Ponging?

The Transputer was ahead of it's time, maybe due to anticipating the end of Moore's law a bit too early!

The Transputer's inter-chip channel connections remind a bit of Nvidia's NVLink or AMD's Infinity Fabric.

Inmos not imos, if my memory cells serve ne correctly. I lived overseas at the time, so I did not hear about the Cray till like 1980/81. My friend (we were like 12) had an idea to write a simulator for digital circuits, and I was puzzled as to why you would want to simulate a circuit when you can build it and test it. He was way ahead of his time.

XMOS is still keeping the Inmos dream alive, more or less!
