Tilera has collected 64 people from places like AMD, Intel, Broadcom, DEC, Stargen, Sun, Cisco, HP, Microsoft, Thinking Machines and Curl but they're standing on the shoulders of Agarwahl, who was involved in the first Mips Computer demonstration at Stanford back in '83 and then graduated to the 1991 development of Sparcle, an early multithreaded Sparc microprocessor created by MIT, LSI and Sun. In 1994, his team at MIT demonstrated a 32-node mesh-based cache-coherent multiprocessor.
