Re: Everyone knows

There is also the precedent of classic SIMD machines such as the Connection Machines CM-2.

In the day it was always referred to as a 64K processor machine (or maybe to the pedants, 64K PEs), had one Weitek FPU per 32 processors, and being SIMD I'd assume there were no per-CPU instruction fetch/decode units.

Oh, and BTW each processor was 1 bit wide...
