Fitting paralellalla's in a 1U server?

[mectors]

Is anybody thinking about building any parallella servers that would house as many parallella's in a 1U server as is reasonable possible? How many could you fit and would it be a viable alternative compared to a GPU server for doing distributed machine learning?

filling 40 chips inside 1U server is simple, but finding an working application is hard. what is in your mind to use that 40 chips?

Hi,

Although very premature to talk about... - but Sundance has plans for a 1U Blade with 1024 Cores

Please contact me on Flemming.C@Sundance.com if this has an interest.

Adapteva has plans to add many more cores to their Parallellas in the future too, Sundance. It's a bit spammy and in poor taste IMO to come to someone else's forum to try to sell people your product.

Sundance, it seemed to me like you were trying to divert people from Parallella to a similar product of your offering. If you want to work together with Adapteva to develop products, I think that's great, so I offer my apologies.

I believe there were a few mentions of eventually putting the Epiphany on PCIe. Personally, I'd just wait until the 1k cores chip comes out to do anything fancy. Currently, we need people writing programs more so than 1U servers.
