K if I can transpile C/C++, Rust or TypeScript to that and have full access to memory, threads, system APIs, network sockets, etc, then that would work for the use cases I have in mind. Running MIMD processes on SIMD hardware is something I'm definitely interested in.

If there's no straightforward way to do that, then I'm afraid that hardware represents a huge investment in the wrong direction.

Because a GPU can be built from the general-purpose multicore CPU I'm talking about. But a CPU can't be built from a GPU.

What I'm getting at is that if I have to "drop down" to an orthodox way of solving problems, rather than being able to solve them in the freeform way that my instincts leads me, then I will always be stifled.
