The original poster totally failed to answer the single biggest unasked
question - "What problem are you trying to solve with a Tilera?".  There's
large classes of problems that will run much better on a Tilera chipset. And
there's plenty of workloads that will totally suck on that hardware.

1K cores on a chip.  All hanging off one memory interconnect. I think
that about says it all right there.

No thanks, I got like a half dozen of their ilk already.
