One example is an Associative memory - SIMD or MIMD or content addressable memories

| 2 |
This is an an example of a special purpose "signal" processing machine which can in fact be built from "conventional" SIMD or "MIMD" architectures
|
| 3 |
This type of machine is not so popular as most applications are not dominated by computations for which good special purpose devices can be designed

If only 10% of a problem is say "track-finding" or some special purpose processing, then who cares if you reduce that 10% by a factor of 100
-
You have only sped up the system by a factor 1.1 not by 100!
