Eugen, I am certainly interested ! I touched on the Gromacs port to ClearSpeed when I worked there - I then went on to write the port of AMBER to CS plus I have a pair of RPis that I tinker with.
Simon Cox at Southampton did a publicity stunt recently - building a 64node RPi cluster with his young son and his Lego bricks. So far though no news of him running any scientific applications. Perhaps you two should collaborate?
