----------------------------------------Dear Mr Kilk, I think you are confusing "trolling" with "spamming" (and 3 posts, on threads dedicted to Parallella, reporting such an important development, could hardly be called spamming). Dictionary definition of what "trolling" really means http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet) I currently use a laptop to do all my crunching. I got excited and I am really looking forward to the day when you could set up, say, half a dozen of these mini-processors , only drawing 5watts per 64 cores, and costing around $100 each. In my opinion, that is a quantum leap forward, but of course we will have to wait for the BOINC programs to be optimised for the Epiphany chip before we can utilize them.  |

You are right Glen, you are not a troll. You are just spamming this board. But taking in consideration your contribution to WCG, you are fully right to do so
---------------------------------------- Cheers  BTW: with people running such project (i.e. Ericsson guys and Olofsson guy), I don't see the future of the project will last long. My opinion. And yes, I was one of the backers.  Crunching@Home since January 13 2000. Shrubbing@Home since January 5 2006  |

IDK what are the dates on their page, but after waiting more than one year after the original deadline, I have (fortunately) received my money back (thanks to the new "backers" - Ericsson guys
