You should probably inform the British Intelligence service whoever they are as this sounds like industrial espionage! I am appalled that you are even thinking of this and discussing it in a forum where EE enthusiasts gather to solve each others' problems and teach/help in the process. Unless you are a Chinese national floating the idea to gather what kind of response you could get, you should be scared. Just my opinion.

You must have misunderstood treez' "business model". Clearly no industrial espionage, since no UK techology is involved, let alone transferred to a third party. But good old subsidy fraud, at least to get things started.  :-\

I've seen this one. They'll use you for your extensive knowledge of the british street light industry then they'll shoot you and your wife in front of a theater when you aren't of use anymore. Your kid will be raised by your butler and, one long dark night where street lights were cut off by a crime syndicate, be bitten by a coronavirus-carrying bat. He'll then use all the power supply technology you left behind to fight crime and bring back justice to North Cheshire.

There's also a sassy sidekick and a cat but that's for another issue.

Perhaps it is the Inmos Transputer cpus ?
From a very long time ago.

The modern descendent is the XMOS xCORE embedded microcontroller devices running xC.
32 core 4000 MIPS (espandable) chips with hard realtime characteristics unlike any other processor. The IDE examines the optimised code and specifies the min/max code execution times - none of that hit and miss "run the code and hope we notice the worst case" rubbish :)
They are are effectively MCUs which are halfway towards FPGA characteristics.

Occam is now xC, and coupled with the comms fabric and processors, they are a delight to use.

Commercially successful, buy them at DigiKey and elsewhere https://www.digikey.co.uk/products/en?keywords=xmos

You really enjoy those xCORE chips, don't you? ;D
