My impression is that the bulk of the computing power is not in the ARM
but in a many-core coprocessor.
The question is whether represent it as an existing platform
with a new type of coprocessor, or as a new platform.
I suggest the latter.

Parallella uses an ARM 9 chip and the Raspberry Pi uses an ARM 7. Is ARM 9
just newer and backward compatible with ARM 7 , or is it a totally
different instruction set? The reason I ask is that the Raspberry Pi apps
use armhf (depending upon the distro I think) so would those apps work or
is a new version required?

The first Boinc user to get Boinc running on a Parallella has happened:

Since the Boinc version that apt-get gives is only Boinc 7.2.7,
i've asked Gianfranco Costamagna to see if he can get his following
packages fixed so they'll build for armhf:
https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/boinc
https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/firefox
Then at least Parallella Boinc users can get an up to date version,
and any changesets can be pushed to them reasonably quickly.
(Unless the Saucy Salamander Boinc 7.2.7 can be updated to 7.2.42)
