I thought this HacDC post was way to interesting not to forward.

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.

Also, they have a deal if you contribute to their library they'll send you another one.

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.

From Andreas Olofsson, Founder/CEO of Adapteva:

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.

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!!

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.

Sincerely,
Andreas Olofsson

(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!!)

The Parallella Board

• 18-core credit card sized computer• Gigabit Ethernet
• 1GB SDRAM
• Micro-SD storage
• HDMI, USB (optional)
• Up to 48 GPIO pins
• User configurable hardware (FPGA)
• Open source design files
• #1 in energy efficiency
