GPU, TPU, DPU, etc are not general purpose compute: they are highly specialized for a certain tasks. Not familiar with Tilera, but it looks like up to 100 cores? That's not what I mean by massive either.

CM was massively parallel: 64,000 general purpose processors. I don't think we adequately explored its attributes. I bet we could make a decent emulation of a CM and its support tools now.
