Raistmer:
yeah... and they already run Ubuntu... OMG, why Ubuntu, not CentOS ;D
Hans Dorn:
Sort of related, the next generation of AMD and Nvidia GPUs will sport numerous ARM cores.
Dunno if you can run Ubuntu on them.
Debian, definitely. Debian runs on ANYTHING ;D
Cheers
Raistmer:
Their frontman just contacted BOINC. He wants BOINC to support Parallella! Very good news!

Quote from Andrew's mail:
--- Quote ---There has been quite a bit of interest in using the Parallella
computer with BOINC applications and I'd like to find out what work
would be required to add support for it / the co-processor.
The computer has a dual-core ARM A9 processor (Xilinx Zyqn) and runs
Linux (Linaro Ubuntu), but in order to take advantage of the Epiphany
floating-point hardware I'm not sure whether this would need adding as
a platform, or perhaps Parallella (ARM+Epiphany).
There is also interest in running SETI@home and I was thinking this
might make a great exemplar application when developing BOINC support.
