I'm hardly an expert in this, but doesn't that architecture look similar to Intel's MIC architecture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_MIC) with the upcoming Xeon Phi product? See also http://semiaccurate.com/2012/08/28/intel-details-knights-cor...

It's more similar to the Tilera64 chips and ye olde Transputer. Key difference is the reliance of the MIC on cache coherency across all cores.
