 ah yehhh!  thank you for reminding me!  yeah i forgot about his work,
thank you.  i know why i forgot it: i spoke to its developer, he said
there's some severe limitations... something about how it was put
together, it was never really intended to go above.... 50mhz (in an
FPGA) or... something.   there was a fundamental design flaw in other
words.

 might have changed since then.

 but i went, "hmm, MIAOU shader engine plus ORSOC_GPU plus RISC-V core
would do *really* well"
