Is this similar to GPU programming? If not, how is it different?

  Perhaps the form factor will allow for far more dense clusters? and that its on dram boards, the cost for these is certainly low-ish.

  AFAIK GPUs are floating-point centric, meaning you'd have to reimplement some functionality on top of FP. Plus it seems that each 'cell' can be it's own state machine, I also believe that GPUs are less fine-grained than that (you allocate clusters of units to compute a programmable shader).

    Actually the throughput of integer instructions isn't that much lower than floating point operations, at least for arithmetic and bitwise operations. http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/#maximize-instruction-throughput http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/#maximi...
