Also, the ESV has quite a heap of commercially available standard
CPUs, not custom CPUs. That didn't happen until the Freedom series
accelerators for Sun, HP and IBM workstations.
I have an AT&T Pixel Machine as well and it has gobs of processors in
it. I think they are also AT&T DSP32Cs IIRC.

OK, how about 45 CPUs? The Evans &
Sutherland ESV workstation has
one MIPS R4000 and anywhere from 4 to 44 AT&T DSP32Cs.
Made right here in Utah.
Deep Crack. The custom machine that John Gilmore made to defeat DES,
hundreds of dedicated processors, each trying its own possibilities.
