Unfortunately that archived link doesn't extend to "page 2".

Some more info easily found at cerebras's site,

Looks exactly like a mesh of Inmos Transputers except on a single chip! Back in the late 80s, I spent months trying to get backpropagation to work on a Meiko computing surface - but no real speedups were possible.

The website loads fine? Page two is more interesting. It's about yield which is not discussed on the cerebras website.
