Back in the late 80´s there was a lot of development around parallel processing hardware. These were accomplished by conecting several processor to execute one task. It was bleeding edge technology back then.
The Amiga had several transputer hardware that saw the light, but they were never popular or widespread.
http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/prototypes/transputer.htmlThese transputers ran an obscure operating system called Helios which was developed by Tim King (the father of Amigados). Well, Time has proven that nothing remains in the dark forever:
Helios has surfaced, and now it is open source.
