==Award== In 1990, “A [[Elizabeth II|Queen]]’s Award for Technological Achievement [was] conferred ... on [[Oxford University Computing Laboratory|[Oxford University] Computing Laboratory]]. The award recognises a successful collaboration between the laboratory and [[Inmos]] Ltd. … Inmos’ flagship product is the ‘[[transputer]]’, a [[microprocessor]] with many of the parts that would normally be needed in addition built into the same single [[Electronic component|component]].”<ref>{{cite journal |title=Sharp as a Razor: A Queen's Award for the Computing Laboratory |last1=Geraint Jones |journal=[[The Oxford Magazine]] |issue=59, Fourth Week, Trinity Term |date=1990 |url= http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/geraint.jones/ftp/pub/Documents/techpapers/Geraint.Jones/QATA-1-90.ps |author1-link=Geraint Jones}}</ref> According to Tony Hoare,<ref>{{cite journal |title=An interview with C.A.R.

The founder had the vision that the '''CSP''' ideas were ripe for industrial exploitation, and he made that the basis of the language for programming Transputers, which was called [[Occam (programming language)|Occam]]. … The company estimated it enabled them to deliver the hardware one year earlier than would otherwise have happened. They applied for and won a Queen’s award for technological achievement, in conjunction with Oxford University Computing Laboratory.”
