Will the use of such a boards require some adpatations of the WCG projects code (which would mean that they are not compatible) or will they be seen by the Boinc application simply as additional cores, and handled by the OS as such.
----------------------------------------Retail availability is for January 13, so it is not so far in time. I wonder if there is some opinon already from tech at WCG.  |

This is not the right chip for the average user. It will require some programming effort and some specialized hardware. Looks like it only runs on Linux at the moment. See:
