'''Transputer''',<br/>
a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_instruction_set_computing RISC] processor architecture of the 80s and 90s produced by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inmos Inmos], featuring integrated [[Memory|memory]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_communication serial communication] links, intended for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing parallel computing]. Chess programs running on massive Transputer networks were [[Moby]] and [[Zugzwang (Program)|Zugzwang]].
