SiCortex had a nice booth at Supercomputing '08.  They have desktop
versions of their machines too.

I've heard that the SiCortex machines have a fabulous communication
network, but they expect you to use it via their MPI stack.  I don't
think they offer a shared memory abstraction that the JVM could
exploit over all the cores in the machine; maybe it would work on a
single (6-way parallel) node.

The biggest problem would be that as well as the possible lack of a
modern JVM for the MIPS processors.  I've heard that Kaffe runs on
MIPS but Kaffe doesn't support Java >= 1.5 so you won't be able to run
Clojure with it.
