I guess the system is programmable. The point is it distributes memory accesses and computations, which should allow things which usually run slow to run in real-time.

I'm still waiting for an architecture like a distributed programmable memory rather than a distributed programmable computer. I think that's what we're aiming for, really. AI doesn't consume CPU it consumes memory cycles.

It would be really interesting to see what could be done by coupling memory and some SIMD capability very closely. Would probably be some crazy expensive memory, but it could be memory that offloads a lot out of the CPU.
