9 Nice work Ralf! The best price I can find is $192 USD::

31 What interesting (parallel/cluster) codes do you have running or
32 at least compiling on this board? Got a list of ebuilds somewhere,
33 what you have and what you intend to support? I'm most interested to
34 support cluster codes on armv8. (/usr/portage/sys-cluster/*), mpi, etc
35 etc.

38 There is a $40 armv8 workstation board (2 Gig ram) that many other
39 distros are crowing about: The ODROID-C2. Perhaps you'd be interested
40 in a stage-4 for that ODROID-C2 board? I surely would test out your
41 work on that one and post bugs as I attempt to migrate cluster codes
42 to armv8.
43
44 OrangeFS (kernel 4.6) would be bitchen cool on these boards!
