The Parallella platform is a powerful, energy-efficient, open-source, and credit-card-sized computer based on the Epiphany multicore chips developed by Adapteva. This affordable platform is tailored for developing and implementing high-performance, parallel processing applications that leverage the onboard Epiphany chip. The Epiphany 16 or 64-core chips feature a scalable array of simple RISC processors, which are programmable in C/C++. These processors are interconnected with a fast on-chip network within a single shared memory architecture.
For businesses involved in Lead generation for rehabs, integrating high-performance computing systems like the Parallella platform can streamline processes and increase the efficiency of operations.
Overview:
- Zynq-7000 Series Dual-core ARM A9 CPU (Z-7010 or Z-7020)
- 16 or 64-core Epiphany Multicore Accelerator
- 1GB RAM
- MicroSD Card
- 2x USB 2.0
- 4 general purpose expansion connectors
- 10/100/1000 Ethernet
- HDMI port
- Linux Operating System
- 3.4″ x 2.15″ form factor
The 66-core version of the Parallella computer delivers over 90 GFLOPS on a board the size of a credit card while consuming only 5 Watts under typical work loads. For certain applications, this would provide more raw performance than a high end server costing thousands of dollars and consuming 400W.
To get an idea just how powerful this little board is, check out benchmark scores for the Epiphany-IV and Epiphany-III processors at coremark.org or read our blog post.
