Line 8:

The earliest massively parallel processing systems all used [[serial computer]]s as individual processing elements, in order to achieve the maximum number of independent units for a given size and cost.

Through advances in [[Moore's Law]], single-chip implementations of [[massively parallel processor array]]s are becoming cost effective, and finding particular application in high performance [[embedded systems]] appplicationsapplications such as [[video compression]]. Examples include chips from [[Ambric]], [[Picochip|picoChip]], and [[Tilera]].
