This looks like a huge advance. I'll give it a go on my old 2015.1 image.

I've worked with David on various projects for the better part of a decade and he's a good and reasonable person. Brown Deer Technology isn't some giant corporation trying to use complicated legal shenanigans to generate revenue. It's pretty clear that if you want to use the COPRTHR 2 SDK for your next non-commercial (or open source) application, you're free to do so (this is maybe 99% of what goes on here). If you are building a mobile base station for commercial use or resale using the Epiphany architecture and COPRTHR 2 SDK, contact BDT. If you have other concerns, contact BDT.

If you want to study the SDK, start with the paper I linked in the original post and use the software. Many of the implementation details 'open' for study in that sense.

It is my intention to release a full open source OpenSHMEM implementation for Epiphany that uses both the eSDK and, optionally, the COPRTHR SDK. Preliminary details from around January are available in the paper ""

The OpenSHMEM interface and the improvements with the COPRTHR interoperability should dramatically improve application development time, features, and performance for the Epiphany architecture. Imagine running some existing OpenSHMEM applications with no source code changes, just by recompiling. That is what the COPRTHR SDK enables and it isn't possible with any other software.
