I'm very interested in such things for a variety of reasons, although
I don't currently have the time and energy to focus on it (in a few
years...).
One of my problems is that I'm a graphics geek... even if we can
somehow manage to replace the CPU + software VM with an FPGA VM
implementation, how would we replace the GPU? Or could we still
interact with commodity GPUs? I recall a message from you some time
ago that revealed that you have put a significant amount of thought
into graphics on your type of system. Have your thoughts changed at
all now that we have GPUs with their own assembly languages?
Best,
Joshua
