Description:
|
KROC is a portable OCCAM compiler system that enables OCCAM to
run on non-transputer platforms (initially SunOS/SPARC(TM)
workstations). KROC works by translating code produced by an
INMOS OCCAM Toolset compiler into the native assembler for the
target architecture and linking in a small (< 2K bytes) kernel
that provides the process scheduling and message-passing
functionality of the transputer micro-code. Therefore, you
will need an OCCAM Toolset compiler (see requires:).
