And the 16,000 core which is suppose to happen in 2022? There has been ZERO activity on this in four years.

The 1000 core chip has been developed (see the datasheet).
Given that DARPA is behind further developments, the bigger chips may appear, too.

However, it won't be available to the general public anymore.

Not sure what the link to the old and original board is for.

@KNERDY,

I believe it was in reply to your criticism about the comment: "we need to make sure that every programmer has access to cheap and open parallel hardware and development tools". His reply was that the inexpensive Parallella board ($99-$149), which is an open design and includes a dual-core ARM processor, 16-core Epiphany processor, Xilinx FPGA, an open GNU toolchain, and many open source software libraries and projects -- should satisfy that stated goals.

There shouldn't be any issues with the stated goals and the project didn't violate thhem. You may argue about whether or not the goals were successfully achieved. Parallel computing is hard and it's not going away.

The board is now extremely outdated, and not inexpensive anymore. I do believe the design dates back to 2012.

I can tell you what went wrong. The 1024 core board was never delivered. Who in 2014 would not want a 1024 core system which may could have been potentially priced lower than a graphics card, and probably used less power?

I still may get a board, or two in the near future.
