Raspberry Pi cluster

In February 2013, the idea for a reincarnation of the Beowulf cluster arose. This would be a rackmount-type box where people could colocate their Raspberry Pis in our rack.

Planning

Needed supplies:

• Rackmount case (mutantmonkey has one)
• Rackmount 10/100 switch (Matt has one)
• Patch panel to mount on front of case (Matt can probably acquire one)
• Bulk ethernet, etc (Matt has plenty)
• 5V USB PDU (may have to custom build --Mjh (talk) 17:11, 21 February 2013 (EST))
• Cases (we can 3D-print these)

Connectivity

• Native IPv6
• IPv4 NAT behind wood (luug1.ece.vt.edu)
• Tunneled AMPRnet IPv4 for ham use

Other clusters

• Raspberry Pi control center
• Riak cluster
• 64-node Lego RPi cluster at University of Southampton
