Here at the I.S.R., while i don't know all the details of it, as
i specialize in building lab systems, a couple of students wrote
a real-time model of the Limulus (horseshoe crab) retina which
runs on a CM2. each processor simulated a single retina cell
or neuron and were interconnected the same way as the cells  in the
actual critter. Each cell was modelled to simulate it's behaivor
when isolated, and amazingly enough, the connected computer model
had behaivor close to that of the entire eye.
