Jan Gray’s FPGA.org site has just published a blog post detailing the successful test of the GRVI Phalanx massively parallel accelerator framework, with 1680 open-source RISC-V processor cores running simultaneously on one Xilinx Virtex UltraScale+ VU9P. (That’s a mid-sized Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA.) According to the post, this is the first example of a kilocore RISC-V implementation and represents “the most 32-bit RISC cores on a chip in any technology.”
That’s certainly worth a picture (is a picture worth 1000 cores?):

The GRVI Phalanx’s design consists of 210 processing clusters with each cluster comprised of eight RISC-V processor cores, 128Kbytes of multiported RAM, and a 300-bit Hoplite NOC router. Here’s a block diagram of one such Phalanx cluster:
