Overview of this book

Want to put your Raspberry Pi through its paces right out of the box? This tutorial guide is designed to get you learning all the tricks of the Raspberry Pi through building complete, hands-on hardware projects. Speed through the basics and then dive right in to development! Discover that you can do almost anything with your Raspberry Pi with a taste of almost everything. Get started with Pi Gaming as you learn how to set up Minecraft, and then program your own game with the help of Pygame. Turn the Pi into your own home security system with complete guidance on setting up a webcam spy camera and OpenCV computer vision for image recognition capabilities. Get to grips with GPIO programming to make a Pi-based glowing LED system, build a complete functioning motion tracker, and more. Finally, get ready to tackle projects that push your Pi to its limits. Construct a complete Internet of Things home automation system with the Raspberry Pi to control your house via Twitter; turn your Pi into a super-computer through linking multiple boards into a cluster and then add in advanced network capabilities for super speedy processing!

Introducing N-Body simulations


An N-Body simulation is a simulation of a dynamic system of particles that are under the influence of physical forces, such as gravity or magnetism. It is mostly used in astrophysics to study the processes involving nonlinear structure formation, such as the formation of galaxies, planets, and suns. They are also used to study the evolution of the large-scale structure of the universe, including estimating the dynamics of a few body systems such as the earth, moon, and sun.

Now, N-body simulations require a lot of computational resources. For example, a 10-body system has 10*9 forces that need to be computed at the same time. You can see that, if we increase the number of particles, the number of forces increases exponentially. So a 100-body system will require 9,900 forces to be calculated simultaneously. That is why N-Body simulations are generally run on powerful computers. However, we are going to use our Raspberry Pi cluster to accomplish this task because...
