If I was looking for a project, I would certainly look at mapping the GA
techniques onto an FPGA CPU.  I'd be curious how many cells I could achieve
with FPGA-implemented RAM on each cell.  Perhaps a 6x6 grid with 4k per node?
100 Mhz instruction rate?  Modern FPGA's have pretty impressive density and
clock rates.

I suspect that many of GA's inventions in inter-CPU processing would be
easier to explore when every design is not entirely dominated by memory
starvation.
