My homemade beowulf cluster underway

Dear: Element 14 Community

 

I am letting you guys know I am building a raspberry pi cluster based off of a laser cut frame I designed and cut on a laser cutter and designed with librecad.

 

Let me just explain first of all my experiences as an engineer. Here are a list of accomplishments I have made within the past few years.

 

  • Built a video game for xbox 360 from XNA C#.
  • Built a 3D printer.
  • Built several robots with Arduino.
  • 3D printed a  ton of junk in my basement.
  • Working on a new 3D printer.
  • Did first robotics and learned netbeans ide.
  • and more...

I also have used a raspberry pi before. I recently got a raspberry working with an lcd display and raspbian. Here are a list of parts I need to continue the project.

  • 60 * m2.5 X 15mm bolts.
  • 15 * RPi3
  • A ton of Ethernet cables
  • A 15 usb port usb bus
  • A 15 Ethernet port Ethernet bus
  • usb micro cables.

I would also need to accomplish the following.

 

  • Powering 15 raspberry pis.
  • Getting 15 raspberry pi's in a  cluster.
  • Mounting and keeping things organized in the cluster.
  • Program a code breaking algorithm.

 

Wish me good luck!!! Thanks!!!

    Hi Noah, you might find it easier to power the Pi using a regulated supply (perhaps a big PC PSU) connected to the expansion headers, pins 2,4 (5v) and 6 (gnd). http://pinout.xyz/ #

    Hi Noah,

     

    Very interested to learn how you get on with this!

     

    You might find BitScope Blade QuattroBitScope Blade Quattro build as a cluster pack is a good way to power and mount them all:

    Image result for bitscope cluster pack

    We're posting more info about blade related products and applications in the community over the coming weeks.

     

    DM me if you have questions.

     

    Cheers, Bruce.
