Build Supercomputers with Raspberry Pi 3

By: Carlos R. Morrison

Overview of this book

Author Carlos R. Morrison (Staff Scientist, NASA) will empower the uninitiated reader to quickly assemble and operate a Pi3 supercomputer in the shortest possible time. The lifeblood of a supercomputer, the MPI code, is introduced early, and sample MPI code provides additional practice opportunities for you to test the effectiveness of your creation. You will learn how to configure various nodes and switches so that they can effectively communicate with each other. By the end of this book, you will have successfully built a supercomputer and the various applications related to it.

Pi2 supercomputing


Execute the code MPI_08_b using 10, and then 12 nodes (see the following figure):

Execute the code using 14, and then 16 nodes (see the following figure):

Execute the code using 18, and then 20 nodes (see the following figure):

Execute the code using 22, and then 24 nodes (see the following figure):

Execute the code using 26, and then 28 nodes (see the following figure):

Execute the code using 30, and then 32 nodes (see the following figure):

The preceding runs were generated by the author's 8-node, 32 core, 32 GHz. Raspberry Pi2 supercomputer. If you are now feeling same as the all powerful Dr. Doom, and crave even more power at your fingertips, you can build an even faster machine by adding more Pi2s or the more advanced Pi3s.
