it's what has stymied parallel processing for 25 years.

HUH?

[WOSG]

wrt parallel processing: IS your PC a SIMD Connection Machine? Or a 256 processor Sequent-like shared memory machine? Or a vector machine? Yet all those machines used fewer transistors than you have
in your PC today, even though they have more raw power on a MIPS/transistor scale. They arent used because your PC software cant utilize them. Same here.

This architecture has been built before, and exists today in a number of ASSPs. it has utility in certain areas, but to think it will take over the world is HYPE.

JMHO.
