COPACOBANA (Cost-Optimized Parallel COde Breaker) is an FPGA-based machine which can be built for less than US$ 10,000 and which is optimized for running cryptanalytical algorithms. COPACOBANA is suitable for computational problems which are parallelizable and have low communication requirements. Website: www.copacobana.org
