In February 2013, the idea for a reincarnation of the [[VTLUUG:Beowulf Cluster|Beowulf cluster]] arose. This would be a rackmount-type box where people could colocate their Raspberry Pis in our rack.
==PlanningNeeded supplies==Needed supplies:* Rackmount case (mutantmonkey has a 5U one)
* Rackmount 10/100 switch ([[User:mjh|Matt]] has one)
* Patch panel to mount on front of case ([[User:mjh|Matt]] can probably acquire one)
** Could use this for power and GPIO access in addition to ethernet
* Bulk ethernet, etc ([[User:mjh|Matt]] has plenty)
* 5V USB PDU (may have to custom build --[[User:Mjh|Mjh]] ([[User talk:Mjh|talk]]) 17:11, 21 February 2013 (EST))
* Cases ([http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:24945 we can 3D-print these])
* [[w:Blinkenlights|Blinkenlights]] to attract attention and envy from others in the CVL. (Can build this with some LEDs and GPIO access --[[User:Mjh|Mjh]] ([[User talk:Mjh|talk]]) 14:35, 22 February 2013 (EST))
==Applications==
* Personal shell servers
* MPI compute cluster
* Appliance control with solid state relays
