Parallella Card Demonstration

It has been a while since our last meetup. We are still adding to the agenda.

The only confirmed topic will be a demonstration of the work I have been doing with Parallella boards I bought from KickStarter.

The Parallella computer is a high performance, credit card sized computer. The Parallella can be used as a standalone computer, an embedded device or as a component in a scaled out parallel server cluster.

The Epiphany co-processor chips consists of a scalable array of simple RISC processors.

The Parallella is an ideal candidate for anyone interested in the field of parallel computing.

The delivery of the cards was about 22 months late - so when they arrived I did not have time to work with them - until now. They are now hooked up in a grid of 8 boards. Memory is low due to the support chips - but it is good for demonstration and testing.

Please let us know if you have topics for us. We would definitely like to get you feedback on topics we should plan over the next few months.

As usual, we will have things to eat and drink. See you on the 14th of April.

Regards, Michael, Nicolas and John
