If you are interested in parallel computing, here is a great deal and support for a variety of parallel language projects including BASIC.
Adapteva Parallella 3 Year AnniversaryIt has been 3 years since we launched the Parallella project on Kickstarter. We are now through the valley of disillusionment and gathering momentum as we reach the the plateau of productivity. Here is a post describing some of the Parallella project highlights from the last 3 years. If you or anyone you know (including your kids) is serious about HW or the future of computer science, there is not a better option around! Show use a board that is free (as in freedom), offers an FPGA and >16 CPU cores under $99, and we will concede.
To celebrate 3 years and over 10,000 customers served we are offering a flash sale for the next couple of days. ONLY IN THE US!! (Sorry, just can't make that deal work globally on a fixed basis)
$75 for "Microserver"
$99 for "Desktop"
Sales closes Christmas Eve! (If you order today, you should get it in time)
Other Parallella NewsAn outstanding academic paper from Ericsson. "Improving Latency in a Signal Processing System on the Epiphany Architecture"
Sylvain and Jason's progress on the Raspberry Pi Camera solution. Linux driver almost ready.
The new elink is finally "finished". The design can be found in the OH! open source Verilog library. MIT license.
Parallel Programming
Nobody said parallel programming was going to be easy, but you won't get anywhere without taking the first step. Parallella now has 8 free and open source parallel programming frameworks thanks to the community.
- Python
- MPI
- OpenMP
- MPI
- ERLANG
- BSP
- BASIC
- STDCL
You can find links to examples and packages
