Indeed that is an interesting board. However, hidden in a comment trail on the blog they note that there was limited funding for the production run of the 64 processor board. This resulted in higher cost/unit and a very limited quantity being produced. The net of that is that all that were made are already committed, so none with be available for purchase.

Hi all. Does anyone have any experience or plans to perform audio-related processing using one of these boards with the Adapteva 16-core coprocessor? http://www.parallella.org It's cheap and low power (RaspberryPi-esque) but seemingly quite capable of significant workloads (especially the upcoming 64-core version). I figured it may be useful for many channel decoding of B-format to speaker feeds, or doing some heavy lifting in FIR calculations for room-equalization, etc. I have in mind echo cancelers and convolving out the room contribution for VC applications. However I don't know enough about chip architecture to know whether this would be a good choice over more conventional (SHARC) DSPs. I see that this is only 32-bit float capable in hardware, whereas math functions in the SHARC ar 40-bit precision. For proper scientific computing, double floats (64-bit) are usually desired, but I'm uncertain whether this applies to the audio domain. Any thoughts?
