14 DAY TRIAL // Adapteva, a company that designs and sells low-power multicore microprocessor and that wants to build supercomputers running an Ubuntu operating system, has almost gathered the necessary money on Kickstarter.
There are only four days remaining for the Parallella: A Supercomputer For Everyone project on Kickstarter and they will need a final push in order to make this concept a reality.
The Parallella project is about an affordable supercomputer that is aimed at the regular users. It will be built with Epiphany multicore chips, built by Adapteva.
The components that will be used to build the Parallella supercomputer are: a dual-core ARM A9 CPU, Epiphany Multicore Accelerator (with 16 or 64 cores), 1GB RAM, 1 MicroSD Card, two USB 2.0 slots, two general purpose expansion connectors, gigabyte Ethernet port, HDMI connection, and Ubunu OS.
