I've been spending a lot of time working on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) which is basically hardware that can be reprogrammed.
There have been some interesting developments in this area. First, FPGAs are a lot more powerful and much cheaper. Second, Intel just bought the second largest FPGA company, Altera. http://www.cnbc.com/id/102723697 Third, FPGAs are moving toward computational mathematics. https://github.com/Gladdy/numerical-fpga-thesis I believe, though I don't know for sure, that Intel will eventually put an FPGA fabric on the same chip (Sytem on a Chip, SoC) as their CPUs. Axiom is in a unique position to exploit this kind of hardware merger. If anyone has pointers to work on hardware-based symbolic/numeric work, please send me a link.
