You missed an interesting CLIP4 talk:
basically: Aytun Erdentug of Stonefield (Omicron Electronics Ltd.
West Susses England) talked about their now marketed product
the CLIP4 processor array. They have orders for five at this time.
Various versions can be made from 32x32 to 128 by 128 processing
elements. The PE memory can vary between 512 bits to 8 K bit max.
They are connected via bit links to neigbors, widest data paths
are 32 bits. The application, influencing the instruction set
is medical image processing and signal processing. The CLIP is
programmed ni CLIP assembly language and it is accessed bya either
an 8086 or a 68000. The high level function are programmed via a
