I recall each core had a little ram and a fabric connecting it to other cores, so you could choose to use it like gpu compute The CellBE chip used in the PS3 was like that: a full PPC 'main' processor and 8 'Synergistic Processing Element' which were (oversimplifying) stripped down processors with a lots of registers, small amount of local memory and an interconnect. Interesting idea, but in the end, not very easy to program effectively. I do do remember seeing the Parallella and thinking 'hm, baby CellBE'. What did you create with yours?
