Adapteva had a table at DC Maker Faire. I spoke with Andreas at length; Basically it is an incredibly capable custom ASIC with 16 RISC cores. The Parallella board adds a Zynq FPGA and a ARM A9 which can run Linux.<br>
<br>
Also, they have a deal if you contribute to their library they'll send you another one.<br>

If you wanted to say, implement a real-time collision avoidance system for a UAV, this might be just the ticket. Then of course, you would get startup funding and we would never see you again.<br>

From Andreas Olofsson, Founder/CEO of Adapteva:<br>
<br>
By most standards the Parallella has been a huge success. The Parallella has now shipped to 10,000 individuals and is still selling at a steady clip at Digikey, RS Components, and Amazon.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, the Parallella is not selling at the “Raspberry-Pi ‘ ish” rate that my optimism had fooled me into projecting. As a result, we are now sitting on a pretty big stash of paid-for Parallella inventory that we HAVE to get rid of!!<br>
<br>
For those of you who have been waiting for a price drop, this is your chance. We are dropping the “desktop” price from $149 to $99 on Amazon until we get rid of the excess build up.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Andreas Olofsson<br>
<br>
(ps. Just so there is no misunderstanding…this is not a going out of business sale:-) The future for Parallella, Epiphany, and Adapteva is looking better than ever!!)<br>
