The Parallella was once again voted one of the top ten Linux Single Board Computers. Considering that there are now literally hundreds of inexpensive SBCs in the market. Considering how different the Parallella is, I think it’s pretty awesome that we made the list. Thank you!!! Some highlights from the Top 10 List: Raspberry Pi, Bealebone are still the most…

The responses from our recent open response Parallella customer survey are in. Thank you to the 300+ of you who filled out the survey! Your feedback will help all us improve Parallella for all 10,000 Parallella users. The open response question was simple: “What do you need in order to get going with your Parallella project?” As a result of…
During the Parallella Technical Conference on May 30th we ran the first official live test of Supercomputer.io. The whole experiment has come together very quickly over the last few weeks and it’s amazing that we had close to 2,500 CPU cores up and running within one week of launch. The successful first run is a huge testament to the hard work,…
A few months back we started an effort called the “Parallel Architecture Library” (PAL). We already have a few external contributors but we are really looking for many more. PAL is an embarrassingly parallel problem so the more contributors we have the faster we can move! I know none of you are motivated by things like free computers, but as a token…
[Updated: June 19,2015] Inspired by Adafruit’s Open Kinect bounty a few years back we are offering a [UPDATE JUNE 15, JUNE 19:] $1000 $3,000 $4000 bounty to the first person/team to deliver a working open source driver and FPGA MIPI design for the Raspberry Pi camera module. I am sure you can imagine what the Parallella could do in the world of robots and drones once…
During the Parallella Technical Conference in Tokyo we announced a new Software Defined Radio platform, created by “friends of Parallella”. The platform is based on a popular Analog Devices RFIC called AD9361. The chip has some pretty impressive specifications: RF 2 × 2 transceiver with integrated 12-bit DACs and ADCs Band: 70 MHz to 6.0 GHz Supports TDD and FDD operation Tunable…
The first ever Parallella Technical Conference took place this Saturday in Tokyo and it was standing room only at DMM.make There were a number of fantastic presentations from Parallella community members (see videos and presentations below) We also had a few announcements of our own. A new Parallella SDR platform A $1000 Raspberry Pi Camera Bounty Write a C function…
Hi there, If you own a Parallella please help us build the most efficient virtual supercomputer in the world this week! Who, what, where, when, why? http://supercomputer.io Thanks to the amazing folks at resin.io there is now a containerized application deployment platform for the Parallella board enabling super easy workload scheduling for a fleet of thousands of Parallella computers across the globe…
