You need to select a processor that can do stuff like fetch, shift and
shift-add in very few machine cycles, ideally in one. Should be 16-bit,
too, but that's no big deal anymore these days.

AFAICT after Professor Fettweis retired the usual happened. This whole
research area became unglued and withered. It's sad, there is hardly any
continuance in academia. That's what I like about working in industry,
you continue the product lines whether you like it or not. Better for
the customers.
