How would one go about making a machine with parallel/vector processing short of programming DSPs or something directly.

Let's say for more or less general purpose application.

What options are there?

Actual vector processing seems dead unless you want to call wide SIMD devices like KNL or GPUs vector processors. Maybe the Epiphany - or if poorfag the Parallela - are for you?

Use a CPU if possible, if not use a GPU, if not use FPGA, if not use ASIC.

For general purpose applications? Use a CPU. Most cores are fast enough. Heck our CPUs are fast enough for most gaymes to run at 60 fps or higher on a single core.

Otherwise I would suggest you to just use a lot of smaller downclocked cores but that requires more competent programmers.

Use loads of bit slice chips. Many great computers were made that way.

Or learn VHDL or Verilog and make your own in FPGA. Go to Opencores and build on freely available processor designs you can find there.

Just use a GPU???!? or a DSC maybe

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
