> Parallela's 64-core ARM Parallela is not a 64-core ARM, it's a 2-core ARM with a bunch of co-processors which have to be programmed specially. The co-processors have little local memory and the memory model is very weak, there are no memory barriers precluding the use of general-purpose code.

Thanks for correcting me, you are right! It has 64 RISC cores alongside dual-core ARM.

To further clarify, the Parallella is a complete computer consisting of a 2 core ARM chip and a separate 16 or 64 core Epiphany processor.
