2000 Chuck Moore joins Enumera Project |
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. |
