GB Ethernet shield to have 2 connections on a Beowulf head node

might help to know german ... I don't ... and with the GTX 770, you need a computer ... and ... with that we are far from the very old Beowulf cluster concept ...

I finished physics in 1989 (27 years ago) and I was dreaming of building one at the time ... forgot about that and now ... finding it again !

It is a question of :

 1- harnessing the compute power of my 7 systems lying around my house (a project in itself, 4 raspberry pi 2, all running some variations of linux, 2 of them security systems hook to doors and Pir sensors, 2 others for research (fun), 2 tower linux systems, one for dev, one for my cnc, and last, my portable pc, all that on my Gb network), and 

 2- building a Beowulf cluster with cheaper systems available now ...

Now, imagine a Beowulf system built with super nodes ... like the TX1 (thanks for your GPU heads up) ... at around 2 to 3K ... concentrate your suggestions in that direction please ... and be happy ! At 53, bitching mode is off ... I do appreciate concerns about things though but I like to be positive ...

I talked about the TX1 because I found it ... and I liked it ... it was another possibility :slight_smile: and it fared better than the TK1 ...

TX1 has 256 cores the TK1 has 192 ... ok that is close ...
TX1 has 4 Gb ram the TK1 has 2 ... ok that is not close ...

TX1 is cortex-A57 but TK1 is Cortex-A15 ... and
TX1 is MPCore, I have no idea about the TK1 ...

and TX1 comes pre loaded with linux ... that is a plus for me :slight_smile:

I looked at Anaconda and ... wow !

I'll add a 64Gb SD card (or microSD depends on what I buy) to all of them, to have more dead memory close by each processor. The cluster will also have a 3Tb private cloud hard disk (I have not selected it yet ... I do have one at home and every computer is mounting it all right)

On the fun part, have you looked at BlueDBM from MIT ? You got to love that :slight_smile:
