This paper reports on the Transterpreter. a virtual machine for executing the Transputer instruction set. This interpreter is a small, portable, efficient and extensible run-time. It is intended to be easily ported to handheld computers, mobile phones, and other embedded contexts. In striving for this level of portability, Occam programs compiled to Transputer byte-code can currently be run on desktop computers, handhelds, and even the LEGO Mindstorms robotics kit.
