This is a great initiative, the best of luck to the founders.

Has anyone made the connection yet between belt machines and queue machines?

From 2004 to 2008 I was part of Prof. Sowa’s lab where we developed the Parallel Queue Processor. We had a similar idea (FIFOs holding operands) with similar objectives: high parallelism, no register renaming, and short instruction set. http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1052359

For those interested in the compilation aspects: http://ir.lib.uec.ac.jp/infolib/user_contents/9000000330/9000000330.pdf

Some additional material about queue machines has been compiled by Prof. Abderazek:
