Addendum:
When I say this hypothetical hardware is almost entirely memory...
The "Parsing Unit" is a lookuptable determining the next lookuptable to consult. A couple twists on that concept, but still... This is the bulk of compute!
The "Output Unit" is another lookuptable & a couple decoders.
I chose an NPU that's a twist on flash memory.
The Tree-SIMT "Layout Coprocessor" has a large shift memory per core, powering tree traversals.
Arithmetic Core has more RAM than ALU...
5/4 Fin!
