We had an interesting talk last week at the Chicago Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM Chicago). Raymond T. Hightower presented:
Parallella: Supercomputer for Embedded Systems
Parallella is about the size of a Raspberry Pi, but with 18 cores instead of two. This presentation will show how to get up and running with Parallella, and why developers might care about supercomputing. Why does parallel computing matter? How can developers use parallel computing to deliver better results for clients? Let’s explore these questions together.
