I don't think specialized hardware is needed, I think we can make do
with clusters of contemporary multiprocessor 64-bit Linux boxes.
However, specialized interconnect fabrics like Octiga Bay's would
certainly cut hardware costs....

FPGA is a great technology but doesn't seem to have direct application
to Novamente. Hugo de Garis did some cool things with it though ;-)
