It's always cool when research projects show that they would work in the real world. Lots of times they are some professors pet idea and don't really go anywhere. It will be interesting to see if in a year to 18 months if anyone else is using OpenPiton.

Eh, Wentzlaff (professor behind this) co-founded Tilera. He can definitely make something others could use. I view him doing OpenPiton as an attempt to give back to researchers now that he has become a prof.
