Don’t get me wrong, a Raspberry Pi can work as a reliable home server node. But once you start dabbling into VM-heavy workloads or tasks that require the superior OS and package compatibility of an ...

If you are interested in building your very own Raspberry Pi cluster, combining multiple Raspberry Pi mini PCs together to form one supercomputer. You may be interested in a article published to the ...

The inspiration for this post (and this project) came from something that I recently read in the Raspberry Pi blog. I would like to start out by saying if you are interested in computers, programming, ...

In a computing universe dominated by hyperscale data centers and cloud-based applications, why do engineers and coders love hobby computers like the $35 Raspberry Pi so much? “The Raspberry Pi is ...

When we first saw [Ajlitt’s] Hackaday.io project Terrible Cluster we thought, perhaps, he meant terrible in the sense of the third definition: 3. exciting terror, awe, or great fear; dreadful; awful. ...

YouTuber and Pi enthusiast Kevin McAleer has created a unique Raspberry Pi cluster inspired by the Cray 1 Supercomputer originally launched back in 1975 and pictured below. The Cray-1 was a ...

Raspberry Pi cluster computers are old hat by now, and much to our dismay, we’ve even seen Raspberry Pis crop up as the brains of a few ill-conceived Kickstarter projects. The Pi was never meant for ...

"The potential teaching mechanisms are open-ended at this time, but could lead to such things as project-based learning or exploration with mentors," said Wagner. "In particular, the low cost of a ...

The big (yet small) picture: The much-awaited Raspberry Pi 4 is out, and it comes with much improved performance - so much so that the board's launch website is almost entirely powered by 18 Raspberry ...

Researchers at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, have built a Linux cluster using 16 Raspberry Pi computers as part of a program to teach children ...

When you need more computing power, there are usually two solutions: throw in a more powerful processor or throw in more processors. In supercomputing, the latter is often the more efficient solution.
