Actually, there is a whole class of parallel architectures called "Systolic Arrays" which TIS and Shenzhen I/O belong to:

- convolvatron 9y agobut kungs iwarp machine was 32 bits wide, had a scratch sram (i forgot how big), and 32 registers it was a lot like programming a 32 bit arm, except there was a mov-to-my-neighbors file instruction .. and maybe full/empty bits?
- em3rgent0rdr 9y agoiWarp is just one of the more recent systolic arrays. But they go back to atleast 1943 with the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_computer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_computer, and there is a lot of variety and topologies...but they all work by piping data around between modules.
