Parrallella Epiphany Kickstarter by Adapteva

$100 credit card sized Parallella combines FPGA, ARM, & DSPs. 18CPUs @800MHz with 5Watts! o New vid, so tempting! xD http://kck.st/UGQjG3

I wouldn't really know what to do with it that I wouldn't be able to do on a gumstix/raspberry pi ... apart from BOINC and testing 2048-bit RSA or AES cracking solving chess.

Here's an excerpt cos I'm too lazy to iframe, just click the kickstarter link above for full updates, videos and graphics. The project still needs $185k/$750k in 48 hours so if you want to see this project go ahead, support!

The following list shows the major components planned for the Parallella computer:

• Zynq-7010 Dual-core ARM A9 CPU
• Epiphany Multicore Accelerator (16 or 64 cores)
• 1GB RAM 
• MicroSD Card
• USB 2.0 (two) 
• Two general purpose expansion connectors
• Ethernet 10/100/1000
• HDMI connection
• Ships with Ubuntu OS
• Ships with free open source Epiphany development tools that include C compiler, multicore debugger, Eclipse IDE, OpenCL SDK/compiler, and run time libraries. 
• Dimensions are 3.4'' x 2.1''  

Wow, it ships with Ubuntu ... no more annoying qemu images (from my experiences with the gumstix) I guess =P

Cuda on linux =3

So following this link here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cuda , I got Cuda working on Linux!! (My main Kubuntu 12.04)

The FluidGL thing works really well! If only the colours would change depending on velocity ...

Hiccups:

• Note to self - installed it in default directory /usr/local/bin instead of /opt as suggested by Ubuntu/Cannonical's philosphy thing
• Forgot to install dependencies before building as usual -_-" according to:
Then, install required packages:

sudo apt-get install libxi-dev libxmu-dev freeglut3-dev build-essential binutils-gold

So the plan now is to see if BOINC can utilise some of this CUDA action =)
IF I can get it working that is ...
