Porting effort towards TILERA massive multicore CPUs...?

[Patrick Oeschger]

there is a rather new processor from TILERA (100 core chip) which is
most certainly already known here at FreeBSD ARM mailing list.
[http://www.tilera.com/products/processors/TILE-Gx_Family]
the processor/platform is targeted towards:
- high performance network security platforms
  - firewalling/vpn
  - utm
  - l7 deep packet inspection
  - network monitoring and forensics
- cloud computing
  - web application (lamp)
  - data caching (memcached)
  - database applications
  - high-performance computing

chris metcalf from TILERA did the current linux port and i was in
contact with him about two weeks ago.
it was chris who brought me in contact with the director of sales for
the EMEA region.
btw:
at this time QUANTA computer is starting to offer a 512 core 2U box
with an impressive performance/watt ratio (400 watts only for 512
cores).

i guess those massive multicore chips would enable bleeding edge
high performance solutions based on FreeBSD.

now...
- anyone interested in porting FreeBSD/ARM towards TILERA?
- is there already some ongoing porting effort?
- porting for this chip already discussed in this mailing list? 

many thx
