Enumera’s Background
John Sokol started Enumera to be able to expand research into parallel computing.
This began as an extension from using clusters for video compression and high performance web and video serving.
The first project was 100 Pentium CPU's in a 6" rack. Ethernet Multicast Boot on disk less motherboards. Designs for over 300 CPU's in a 6" (single depth) rack were drafted but dropped when we found the Chuck Moore CPU's.

Two major direction this can be used.
1.) As low cost, low power devices, using a single core and co-processors.
2.) As an ultra high performance cluster on a chip, still low power and cost.
