  abstract= "This paper describes trancell, a translator and associated
     runtime environment that allows programs written in the
     occam programming language to be run on the Cell BE
     microarchitecture. trancell cannot stand alone, but requires
     the front end from the KRoC/Linux compiler for generating
     Extended Transputer Code (ETC), which is then translated
     into native Cell SPU assembly code and linked with the
     trancell runtime. The paper describes the difficulties in
     implementing occam on the Cell, notably the runtime support
     required for implementing channel communications and true
     parallelism. Various benchmarks are examined to investigate
     the success of the approach."
