Parallella: The $99 Linux supercomputer by Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols.

From the post:

What Adapteva has done is create a credit-card sized parallel-processing board. This comes with a dual-core ARM A9 processor and a 64-core Epiphany Multicore Accelerator chip, along with 1GB of RAM, a microSD card, two USB 2.0 ports, 10/100/1000 Ethernet, and an HDMI connection. If all goes well, by itself, this board should deliver about 90 GFLOPS of performance, or — in terms PC users understand — about the same horse-power as a 45GHz CPU.

This board will use Ubuntu Linux 12.04 for its operating system. To put all this to work, the platform reference design and drivers are now available.

From Adapteva.

I wonder which will come first:

A really kick-ass 12 dimensional version of Asteroids?

or

New approaches to graph processing?

What do you think?
