I've had this idea forever, and mentioned it here many, many times... the BitGrid, which is an FPGA chip without all the routing and long lines, but with added latching so you can banish timing constraints.

I honestly think it could be as important/useful as Von Neumann's CPU architecture, for AI and other highly parallel compute tasks. Every time I start to work on it, something stops me.

For instance, last week I had a good chat with Github Copilot about it, and it was way too nice and encouraging for comfort[2] Unfortunately, you need a Copilot account to read the chat I shared. 8(

I was hoping to get it into TinyTapeout, but they're now only in Europe. 8(
