Don't forget the LINKS project, fruit of a liason between the
University of Osaka (I think) and industry.  All of the colorful
surrealistic images produced by Yochiro Kawaguchi are produced on this
machine, an array of 64 Z8000's (bet you thought they had been
surpassed by the 68000 and 32016, eh?).  The LINKS-2 is supposed to be
an array of custom-designed processors.  Both of them are designed to
do nothing but ray-traced images.
