I'm probably wrong, but aren't they just lots
of interconnected
processor-memory machines though?
Yes, that is true, but the processors are so incredibly weak (compared to
just about every other MP system), so it sort of "looks" like a chunk of
memory that knows how to do stuff.
It is a poor analogy, but it is the best I have.
