Denelcor "HEP", Heterogenous Element Processor.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_Element_Processor.
Never programmed it, but read the assembly language manual and architecture guide. Used that model for programming some parallel computers. I spent most of the 1980s using parallel computers, and "computers in parallel"- networked them together and put code across them doing QIO's.
But- with $600 dual Pentium I5 processors, hard to justify spending $1M on a computer these days.

Only governments can waste that kind of money, and they can do it a lot faster.
Or Apple could be so moved by the OWS protests to just give that $80B away to the 99%...

When I read 80B dollars I have to scratch my ear....dollars, dollars...oil is real, food is real, but are dollars real? I hope in five years money still will be able to buy real things.

They can buy 133,333,333 Win7 computers.
And with that note, back on topic.
