This is fairly old. As the site says, it was done for the ENIAC 50th
anniversary. I would like to add that IMHO, even if it is similar to an
ENIAC in architecture, it is in no way an ENIAC. If someone gave
me an ENIAC-on-a-chip, I would not feel that I have anything like an
ENIAC. Consider that while the ENIAC was operated with knobs and switches,
this chip is operated by raising certain lines via a PC interface. Now,
that sounds like a math coprocessor to me :)
