Sounds a lot like GreenArray GA144 (https://www.greenarraychips.com/home/documents/greg/GA144.ht...)! Sadly, without a bizarre and proprietary FORTH dialect to call its own, I fear the E1 will not have the market traction of its predecessor.

That was my first thought too. I really like the idea of interconnected nodes array. There's something biological, thinking in topology and neighbours diffusion that I find appealing.

One day someone will get it working...

Data transfer is slow and power hungry - it's obvious that putting a little bit of compute next to every bit of memory is the way to minimize data transfer distance.

The laws of physics can't be broken, yet people demand more and more performance, so eventually the difficulty of solving this issue will be worth solving.
