Sounds cool, but worth pointing out that the Parallela is Zynq based, and so comes with a Xilinx FPGA built into the SoC that includes the dual ARM cores. The FPGA provides the "glue" for the Epiphany chip to talk to the CPU, but there's plenty of spare capacity.

The more the merrier, though. I wish I had time to play with FPGA's - I have a Minimig (Amiga reimplementation where the custom chips are all in an FPGA) and I'm on the list for an FPGA Replay (targeting FPGA reimplementation of assorted home computers including the Amiga, and arcade machines in an FPGA).
