That would be the Muse Mastering console I helped design and build around 1990 (okay, I’m getting old). It was a 56 systolic array processor system. I designed some of the boards and wrote the software for a 386 computer to control it. I developed the software design system to load programs on each of the 56 processors and debug the programs with a full stepper debugger. I also wrote the communictions software from the processor hub to the console unit using Qnix messaging pool. The console was fully automated by that system. It was a huge, complicated project that was also a lot of fun!

Sounds like some low-level stuff.. Just curious, what language did you use back then?

5600 assembly and C. Some low level and some high level. I worked on all ends of it.
