dc.description.abstractOur need for computational power steadily increases as we strive to solve morecomplex problems. As the increase of computational power of \acp{CPU} is slowingdown, due to increasingly smaller and more complex designs, it may be a goodidea to look into different processor designs.At the same time, the need for low-power processors are increasing. There ismany reasons for this. The desire to reduce costs and produce moreenvironmentally friendly data centers is one. Another is to reduce the heatdissapation, which is more important the smaller the processor design is.Lastly, mobile devices are becoming increasingly popular.In this project, I will look into the performance of the Epiphany processorusing the Parallella device. This is a new design of a small and low-powerprocessor. The processor I am testing contains 16 processor cores. There existsa design for a version with 64 cores, and future versions will have even more.To have a reference point for the performance of the Epiphany, similarimplementations are run and measured on the main processor of the Parallella, aXilinx Zynq7000 Series.nb_NO
