Raspberry Pi cluster
Revision as of 21:48, 22 February 2013 by imported>Mjh
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. Despite the name, this does not imply that shared computing software will be run on it.
Contents
Needed supplies
- Rackmount case (mutantmonkey has a 5U one)
- Rackmount 10/100 switch (Matt has one)
- Patch panel to mount on front of case (Matt can probably acquire one)
- Could use this for power and GPIO access in addition to ethernet
- 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)
- Blinkenlights to attract attention and envy from others in the CVL. (Can build this with some LEDs and GPIO access --Mjh (talk) 14:35, 22 February 2013 (EST))
Applications
- Personal shell servers
- MPI compute cluster
- Appliance control with solid state relays
Connectivity
- Native IPv6
- IPv4 NAT behind wood (luug1.ece.vt.edu)
- Tunneled AMPRnet IPv4 for ham use
