I have backed this project. This is an interesting startup, with some good solid technology behind it. They have managed to design and tape out a chip with just a 2m dollar budget so far. The main draw of their architecture is not its peak, but rather its efficiency, both in terms of perf/watt and perf/die area. You can look at their manuals on the site.

Hoping their funding drive succeeds. I am liking the fact that ISA is being fully documented and we will have a fully open-source toolchain to work with the system.

I'm also a backer and I've been completely surprised by the lack of interest. $99 to try what could represent the future of CPU design. I see it as a platform to really try out if the new wave of concurrent languages really make a difference on these platforms.
