Perhaps the copycat work Doug Hofstadter, did is a step in this direction? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copycat_%28software%29 > [OpenMP doesn't match reality] I agree 100%. But it didn't mess up the logic as much as MPI does. This was a class, so every learning experience is interesting. > FPGAs suffer the problem of lack of embedded memory.

You can have the same external memories with an FPGA as with a GPU. I don't think that is an important difference between them. > [large clusters with COTS] Ok, but the networks used in clusters are a bit slow for the experiments I want to do.
