This project develops the experimental software, hardware, assembly techniques, demonstration examples, teaching materials and techniques to enable students and faculty in schools, colleges, and universities to build and learn from experimentation with their own parallel computer. This is accomplished using off-the-shelf motherboards and other components of typical persona computer hardware. The premise is that this can be done at very low cost and yet provide a relatively sophisticated parallel computer that will allow the user to see most if not all of the fundamental concepts involved in parallel computation.

该项目开发了实验软件、硬件、装配技术、演示示例、教材和技术，使中小学、学院和大学的学生和教师能够用自己的并行计算机构建并从实验中学习。这是使用现成的主板和典型角色计算机硬件的其他组件完成的。前提是这可以以非常低的成本完成，并且提供一个相对复杂的并行计算机，允许用户看到并行计算中涉及的大部分（如果不是全部的话）基本概念。
