"A new startup out of MIT emerged from stealth mode today to announce that they're shipping a 64-core processor for the embedded market. The company, called Tilera, was founded by Dr. Anat Agarwal, the MIT professor behind the famous and venerable Raw project on which Tilera's first product, the TILE64 processor, is based. Tilera's director of marketing, Bob Dowd, told Ars that TILE64 represents a "sea change in the computing industry", and the company's CEO isn't shy about pitching the chip as the "first significant new chip architectural development in a decade". So let's take an initial look at what was announced about TILE64 today, with further information to follow as it becomes available."

That's what the documents I've come across on the net all say. It seems like they don't have a full MIPS(r) license hence the use of "MIPS-like" however according to Linuxdevices they have licensed compiler technology from SGI namely the "MIPSPRO compiler suite" which was/is the native compiler suite for IRIX.
