I am thrilled to report that we have now shipped over 10,000 open source Parallella boards and they are being put to great use in parallel computing research projects all across the globe. It’s amazing to think that this parallel computing platform was created through a crowd-funded effort on Kickstarter! More details about active research areas for Parallella can…
The goal of the Parallella project is to democratize access to high performance computing and this is only possible if the whole world has the option to buy a Parallella board. Through the Kickstarter campaign and pre-orders Adapteva has shipped Parallella boards to over 2,000 customers in 75 countries but the logistical burden has been overwhelming. I am extremely pleased…
When we created the Parallella project on Kickstarter two years ago, the goal was to democratize access to high performance computing. To accomplish this goal, we knew that we had to make the Parallella platform completely open and as affordable as possible. 2012 Parallella Kickstarter Promises: Open Access: Absolutely no NDAs or special access needed! All architecture and SDK documents…
When we launched the “$99 Parallella project” on Kickstarter in 2012, the goal was to “democratize access to supercomputing”. With a $99 price point, we knew that we would not make a profit, but we figured the value of reaching the whole world with our technology was enough of a reward for Adapteva as a company. With over 8,500 boards…

(From Kickstarter Update) Dear Friends and Backers, Last week we reached a MAJOR milestone. We finished shipping the bulk (97%) of the Kickstarter rewards!! The 64-core boards are in the final stage of assembly and should ship late this week or early next week. At this point if you signed up for a 16-core board (as a Kickstarter backer) and…
(Kickstarter update #53) I am extremely happy to announce that the 64-core Parallella board is alive and well!! The 64-core and 16-core Parallella computers share the same PCB design and on paper “it should have been” a very simple bringup process. The picture you see above is a 64-core Parallella board with a socket soldered onto the board to allow…
Dear Parallella Customer, We are happy to announce that after an endless string of challenges and unlucky events, the Parallella board is finally moving into production! We are now building 1,400 boards a week and have started shipping mass quantities to Kickstarter backers, many who have waited for almost 18 months. Many of you have now waited for 9 months…
One of the most active Parallella forum members “@shodruky” received a board a few days ago and check out what he did! Simply Amazing! @shodruky played around with the board to try to reproduce what we did for the Kickstarter demo video last year. We still have some tuning left to optimize performance, but it’s not a bad start. We…
The initial batch of the “hopefully final” Parallella boards came back to today and they work great! No smoke on power-up, everything that worked on the Gen1 board still works, and…. ..we have a complete Parallella computer including USB peripherals and an HDMI screen output!! Over the coming days we will continue testing and qualifying the Parallella boards coming off…
