I wish to pick one nit: This is not the first chipset to be fully documented and have this sort of massively-parallel structure. GreenArrays is producing hardware right now if you want to go play: http://www.greenarraychips.com/

Greenarrays eval board is $450, though. Parallella is $99 with everything. Parrallella's original intent was to fit in an Altoid tin, but it turns out rounded corners are expensive ;). Would have been a nice case, though.

And yes, I gave $99, hoping to have one soon.

AFAIK the GreenArray chip provides only 128 bytes per core while Parallela supports 32 KBytes per core.

As a former Forth hacker I was enthusiastic at the first glance of the GA but 128 Bytes per core were really disappointing. What could that amount of RAM be useful for?
