Exotic CPU Architectures
Comments discuss and compare an unusual processor design to historical or specialized alternatives like the Mill CPU, Cell processor, Transputer, TMS34010 bit-addressed processor, and MIPS variants with custom extensions.

Intel run it. AFAIK it was used to produce rad hardened and analogue stuff only. Nothing fancy.
Here is a commercial bit addressed processor:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMS34010
Probably the Mill CPU once the hardware actually exists.
They sort of did with the Cell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(processor)
Or MIPS or other isas, but still fairly powerful CPUs.
It's here. Have you looked at the Cell processor architecture?
Reminds me of the Mill ISA:https://millcomputing.com/
There is no "separate processor". These are just private ISA extensions.
Could be a number of things. The Connection Machine? GreenArrays?
It's a coprocessor. They have existed for a very long time.
