As a demo platform for algorithms? For actual computational work?
How fast are they and how much memory do they have?

The pictures at the link, without reading a whole lot (I've just started my 
first cup of coffee) looks like 'yet another cluster of minimalist boards like 
Arduinos, Raspberry Pi, or the host of inexpensive mini-ITX boards from Via or 
Intel or others.

Time to get cracking on an implementation of MPIduino-Lite, using the PAPERS 
style interface.

What is everyones take on use arm based cpu's such as small board above for a 
clustered environment. Also what impresses me with these board is they are only 
62 USD that is not including shipping.
