Erlang itself runs on the dual core ARM chip. There are Native Implemented Functions (NIF's) that can do things on the Parallela cores, but those functions are not Erlang.
Or, more succinctly, don't get this thinking you're getting a 16 core Erlang node, not exactly.
- hlieberman 11y agoConsidering the Parallela cores are pretty basic RISC processors anyway and have a ton of shared memory, you probably don't want to treat them as regular Erlang nodes regardless. Still, this is hardly a "drop-in" scale kind of thing. It's more like... having an FPGA with some nice glue you can call out to.
