Why so pessimistic? 'any of the work'?

"All" it takes is to have a look at
http://www.adapteva.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/epiphany_sdk_reference.4.13.03.301.pdf

and implement

https://github.com/smarr/RoarVM/blob/master/vm/src/platform/ilib_os_interface.h
[..]/ilib_os_interface.cpp

as well as

[..]/ilib_message_queue.h
[..]/ilib_message_queue.cpp

I wouldn't call that impossible.
Section 12 and 13 of the manual look pretty much like what we would need.

As a short-cut, the posix variants of those platform files "should just work".
And, yes, I am talking about the 16 or 64 cores and not about the ARM part.



Best regards
Stefan
