For those of you always looking for a cooler, better
hardware platform for LinuxCNC, check out:
http://www.parallella.org/board/
This is an Arm board using a Xilinx Zynq FPGA for
processor and logic. It also has 16-core GPU type
device. I don't know how or when real-time support
will be added.
Yep. You could run 64 machines in parallel!
I was looking at this a couple of days ago. Very neat board, but not sure
if it's right fit for linuxcnc.

If the FPGA can be persuaded to run the Hostmot2 Firmware then it
could run two Mesa daughterboards from the GPIO connector.

fewer people than a board like the Beaglebone Black,
which looks to be achieving good market acceptance.

It has OpenCL support +48 fpga i/o's, so it's nice fit for machine
vision + Linuxcnc.

Just curious, how much does LinuxCNC benefit (or not) from multiple
processors or 'cores'?
Some software does well, others need 'vertical mips' rather than
'horizontal mips' (to use some old terms). Linux handles multiple
processors pretty well, the focus of this question is on LinuxCNC as

From what I know (and I'm *NOT* a core developer) it helps quite a bit
to have a few cores, but LinuxCNC doesn't really scale well to lots of
cores.
Basically if
