Behold: A Cluster Made of Matchbox-Sized Fomu FPGA Boards

User @zzznah showed off a "FPGA cluster" built from multiple fomu boards — a matchbox-sized open-source FPGA that runs a RISC-V soft core inside a USB shell. The gag: boards small enough to fit in your palm, lined up as if they were serious compute. Fomu is a popular beginner board for learning digital design.
