Yes, the idea is to just run one VM with control and UI stuff.  The VM
is programmed into the ROM of 3 nodes that sit near the nodes programmed
to be the external SRAM controller.  I don't think anyone was talking
about running multiple ones.  Greg was looking to be able to program the
VM in C.

It's on the second page of results.

The computing time is on the same order as the GA running the VM.  I'm
kind of surprised to hear that modern 8 bitters use anything like 5mw if
they care about power at all, though.
