2. ABSTRACT
Parallel computing is a form of computation in which many calculations are
carried out simultaneously, based on the theory that - divide larger problems into smaller
ones, and execute them concurrently. Which will helps to reduce the execution time and
to improve the computational efficiency. Making parallel computing easy to use and
bring supercomputing to everyone is a problem as hard as any, that computer science has
faced. Parallella project is a proposed solution for this problem.
The Parallella project was launched on Kickstarter in the fall of 2012 at an
entry price point of $99 each, with the goal of “Democratizing Access to
supercomputing”. This is offered by joining individual Parallella boards, capable of
performing parallel computing tasks together in Ethernet-connected clusters.
The Parallella computer platform is an open source, energy efficient,
high performance, credit card sized computer, based on the Epiphany multicore chips
from Adapteva. This affordable platform is designed for developing and implementing
high performance, parallel processing. The Epiphany chips consist of a scalable array of
simple RISC processors. The mesh of independent cores is connected together with a fast
on chip network within single shared memory architecture. Thus applications developed
on Epiphany parallel processor can achieve unprecedented performance at the lowest
power in the industry.
