Not at all, it is what we call self programmable logics. Just like brutus is
programmed in FPGA, you can program for these arrays in a special language.

If a program is not too big and needs pretty simple modifications (such as
matrix calculcations) then you can stream to this array of execution units your
matrix and it will run very fast then.

However that doesn't work for computer chess.
