The Parallella computer is a high performance single board computer developed by Adapteva that includes a dual-core ARM A9 CPU, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), and Adapteva's unique 16-core Epiphany coprocessor. The board offers USB, Ethernet, and HDMI connectivity, making it a great standalone computer. The Parallella can also be used to build massively parallel computer clusters with minimal power consumption.Complete Parallella board specifications can be found at www.parallella.org/board.

The 66-core version of the Parallella computer delivers over 90 GFLOPS on a board the size of a credit card while consuming only 5 Watts under typical work loads. For certain applications, this would provide more raw performance than a high end server costing thousands of dollars and consuming 400W.

Software:

Free pre-built Linux kernels and Epiphany software development tools can be downloaded from ftp.parallella.org. Open source software repositories can be downloaded from www.github.com/parallella and www.github.com/adapteva.
