As a demo platform for algorithms? For actual computational work? How fast are they and how much memory do they have?
The pictures at the link, without reading a whole lot (I've just started my first cup of coffee) looks like 'yet another cluster of minimalist boards like Arduinos, Raspberry Pi, or the host of inexpensive mini-ITX boards from Via or Intel or others. Time to get cracking on an implementation of MPIduino-Lite, using the PAPERS style interface.

Also what impresses me with these board is they are only 62 USD that is not including shipping. -- Jonathan Aquilina
