I think it's the Return of the Array Processor.

There's very little new in computing these days -- and it has the
usual flaws of APs: low bandwidth communication to the host.

So if you have a problem that actually fits in the limited memory, and
doesn't need to communicate with anyone else very often, it may be a
win for you.
