Why Creating a $99 Parallel Computing Machine is ,

just as hard as it sounds.

"It's like a blank canvas for Boolean logic," Olofsson said. "You can implement anything you want while the board is in the field. A portion of that chip has a dual-core A9 that runs Linux like any other SoC (system-on-a-chip). The other part, you load in during boot time a bit file that configures what that logic should do. … Most boards you have today are all locked down.

You can only change things in software, you can't change the hardware. With this board you can actually change the hardware."

 


Parallella also ships with open source development tools geared toward the Epiphany chip, including a C compiler, debugger, Eclipse IDE, OpenCL SDK/compiler, and run-time libraries. It uses a 5V power supply.
