Who remembers the Parallella SBC with 18 cores?

Today I would think a RISC-V would be a better overall choice.

This Epiphany RISC might be good for some specialized tasks, like machine learning or embedded uses.

Hi, Arwen.

Epiphany is not just yet another RISC processor: It's a mesh-connected processor, which means you can create an array of interconnected processors: It's an example of 'many-core' processor architecture. Not only that, but the Epiphany interface to the host ARM processors uses an FPGA. It's a very interesting project and I would encourage anyone interested to take a look before writing it off as 'old' technology.

Bye,
