Miroway MRT a swedish company designed the mS160 a very interesting non numeric processor . It was basically a massively parallel criteria search processor .
It will do as many as 10 billion comparaisons per second. It was ideal to do BRUTE force data searching .. in non indexed raw data .
But also could have some DPS applications ,like signal detection and clasification . 12 years ago we didn't have the internet ,and the data mining needs of today make this processor a still valid product .
Unfortunatly the company went away .. IN those days the 25mhz version was capable of 10 billion searches per second!!I beleive that that processor can perfectly be implemented with today's FPGAs and could be capable of a trillion searches per second! ( P(at)25 Mhz X 10 cores in parallel x 10 speed up = 1 trillion )I just rediscover the doc. it would be a nice project !
So i'd like to know if anybody ever heard of it .
