That sounds like the Amiga PowerUp cards with extra steps. :D

This is cool.

The extra steps are what ensures an invariant.
I am reading this paper you posted, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26844036 this is really good.

love it.
The bibliography itself is a work of art.
* ppc -> risc-v binary translator, much more tractable with fixed width 32 bit instructions
* running this on an FPGA that already includes a RISC-V core like PolarFire and then instantiate a softcore PPC. hack Haiku to run the PPC processes on that core. Extra bonus points to dynamically instantiate PPC cores to meet load, make fast ones, wide ones, slow ones.
What a time to be alive!
