Re: gEDA-user: another wierd idea for a project...

[Jasper <funkybob@xxxxxxxxx>]

   I think the $524 figure is for 9 boards, thus 9 ARMs. But you're
   right, it is still very expensive. And that's what's keeping me from
   buying some. What I like about the idea is that apparently you can
   simply connect them in any configuration you like and they will always
   work and they can program each other. Best regards,

     From the pictures:

     it looks like one ARM per board?  At $524.59 per
     board, that seems kind of steep.  Am I missing something?
     The XMOS XMP-64 Multi-Processor Board already has 16 "cores" per
     board,
     and is only $150, and will run 512 "threads", presumably that is 32
     treads per core.
     Schematics are at the bottom of the page:

     The XMOS is a reincarnation of the Transputer architecture.
     Now if I could only figure out a reason for needing such a thing,
     so I could
     get one to play with...
