Quite a bit of surprise as I knew here and there a bit but this seems to join them together
- Occam (Algol 60 and Bcpl)
- Parallel processing (share nothing?) and channel
- design language and compiler (see who we are talking) first and then design cpu, instead of assembler priority but higher language use
- microcode (used a lot in s/360 … and hence by 1984 not new concept)
- stack based system
- multiple interconnect and
- grid and
- switch
- 1987 for ieee floating point and add this as well
- provable implementation… not like intel
- Bristol of uk

- state own against Margaret Thatcher
- thorn of uk
- Atari … Amiga … Helios …
