Hi The Parallella Project, which aims for making parallel computer accessible for everyone, has been tracking a lot of interests among hobbysts recently in the Kickstarter. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adapteva/parallella-a-supercomputer-for-everyone?ref=home_popular
Its 64 cores along with special memory architecture provides about 45 GHz of equivalent CPU performance on a board size of a credit card while consuming 5 watts. At under $99, they provide the board with the SDK, which allows you to develop with C/C++/OpenCL/Python. Watching this I thought it could be a "dreams come true" for hobbysts. In addition to that, as a usual J user, I always thought J could immensively take advantage of its parallelism potentials. What do you think?
