Abstract
Designers of large structures such as oil rigs cannot afford to build a succession of prototypes so they use computers to analyse the structure. However, this takes time and this kind of computer can be very expensive. The author discusses the use of parallel processing, in particular the Inmos T800 transputer. This kind of processor is very powerful, fast and flexible and is also affordable
