Anyone Interests in 4x4 Epiphany, 256 Cores Board?

[jimmystone]

Hi, All
Since epiphany IV is not available right now, anyone interest in building a 4x4 epiphany III board?
Does anyone so many cores board for your projects? If so, may be I can help build one and open source like parallella.
Or 2x2 will be enough?

I'm interested in almost anything, but I'm particularly interested in price, availability and other such mundane considerations. I already have a 4-board cluster but no fast connection between the Epiphany chips.

Take that as a gentle hint to expand on your proposal.

I'm interested in almost anything too. I also have a 4-board cluster but no Samtechs (i.e microservers), so definitely no fast connection cables between the Epiphany chips/boards.

Please do expand on your proposal, especially how you would interface with the Epiphany array. Even though few readers (and most contributors) will be in the market for the final board, we'll all have some fun dreaming about it, I'm sure. And anyway, one of the reasons for the Parallella is to get people at least thinking about parallel processing, etc.

Cheers,

... and I forgot to add... 4x4 Epiphany III chips = 4x4 x 4x4 cores. That's more than 64-cores I think

You might take a look at the some of Adapteva's earlier work

Cheers,
