That's a real challenge. :) My comment to Kristine has some other details on how we might do something between that and a full GPU.

If we go that way, a real challenge would be designing your own computer then making a demo to run on it.
Just because the tools are more capable doesn't mean the challenge is any less real or the result less impressive.
http://www.linusakesson.net/scene/parallelogram/index.php Here is a demo from someone who has actually done just that. He's done a lot of other cool stuff too.
I have nothing but props for that one. A true, full-stack or whole-system coder in the way the term should be used. He's also about halfway to Frenchgeek's grand challenge. Maybe we need to take up funding for him to put it all on an ASIC at 0.35 micron.
I'm actually working toward that challenge. Well, that plus synthesis, verification, and analog tech to create it. Glad we agree on high end for a demo challenge. :P
