Yes, Alsys has a product that allows development of Ada applications for a
network of Transputers (T4 or T800). It includes a standard Alsys Ada
Environment (AdaWorld) for the Transputer, AdaProbe - our source level
debugger and source browser, and other host tools such AdaReformat and
AdaXref.

To address the specificities of application developments for parallel
computers, and in particular the Transputer, we have developed the AdaMap
product that allows to map an Ada application on a network of transputers,
assigning one or several tasks to each processor. The system break-down is
described to AdaMap in a simple and well designed language.
