Sounds kind of like the IBM/Sony/Toshiba Cell? It made an appearance in the PlayStation 3, but was supposed to be a more general high-performance architecture.

Sounds kind of like the IBM/Sony/Toshiba Cell? It made an appearance in the PlayStation 3, but was supposed to be a more general high-performance architecture. At some point IBM sold blade servers with Cell processors.

Is that a dataflow architecture? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataflow_architecture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataflow_architecture

  No, the Cell is a many-core architecture with a Power 'general' core and 6-8 'special purpose' vector processing units.

  Yes. "Coarse-grain dataflow processor". It's like an FPGA. But LUTs are replaced with RISC-V cores.
