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!
