The civilian application proposed in the article, mapping the many to many relationships between amazon purchasers and items purchased, is unsettling.

#24What does the memory interface look like for this? None of the papers I can find indicate how you can get so much parallelism out of the CPU memory interface. An interesting approach to non-Von Neumann computing is to put ALUs in memory, to take advantage of the fact that DRAMs have far more internal bandwidth than what is exposed in traditional systems: http://researcher.ibm.com/researcher/files/us-leejinho/tvlsi...…
Manufacturing logic on the same wafer as DRAM is difficult since the processes are so different. On the other hand, manufacturing on separate dies and connecting with an interposer or TSVs gets you tremendous bandwidth and relatively low latency; this is how some newer generation graphics memory is implemented (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Bandwidth_Memory ).

#25Is it just me or is the illustration of 'graphs' of totally the wrong kind of graphs? I'm sure they don't mean bar charts.

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah, that's a design choice I just don't understand. The article is already lengthy, what improvement does splitting it to pages manually give? I completely missed the fact that it's multiple pages.
In the old days this technique was used to get information about number of people who found the article interesting enough to read the next page, all without JavaScript. This of course assumes that readers notice the "next page" link, where is where they seem to have failed (or maybe the expectations of readers have changed so much that the new breed of readers no longer notice such links - quite possible).
