When I first got into the Amiga I was doing alot of Neural Net stuff, so I
learned quick that multiprocessors might be critical. I began working with
Inmos transputers and parallel processing slaved to the Amiga (or PC). In that
environment there is a Unic clone for parallel processors called Helios. I went
to a training session where everybody mentioned what machine they were on. I
was last, and of course, the only Amiga guy. The guy teaching the workshop
laughed and said "Great machine. I wrote the EXEC for the Amiga nad we used
alot of the ideas in buiding Helios for parallel processing" !!! So, AmigaDOS
ought to be much more suitable by nature than the Mac or DOS (not withstanding
the obvious hardware differences).
