The Parallella platform is an open source, energy efficient, high performance, credit-card-sized computer based on the Epiphany multicore chips developed by Adapteva. This affordable platform is designed for developing and implementing high performance, parallel processing applications developed to take advantage of the on-board Epiphany chip. The Epiphany 16-core chips consist of a scalable array of simple RISC processors programmable in C/C++ connected together with a fast on-chip network within a single shared memory architecture.
The Parallella computer platform is an open source, energy efficient, high performance, credit-card-sized computer based on the Epiphany multicore chips from Adapteva. This affordable platform is designed for developing and implementing high performance, parallel processing. Applications developed to take advantage of the on-board Epiphany parallel processor can achieve unprecedented performance at the lowest power in the industry.
The Epiphany 16-core chips consist of a scalable array of simple RISC processors programmable in C/C++ or a parallel programming framework like OpenCL. The mesh of independent cores is connected together with a fast on-chip network within a single shared memory architecture.
