Self-organizing Rasperry Pi Clusters
Collaborative Undergraduate Research and Inquiry 2021
Abstract
The Raspberry Pi single-board hardware architecture provides a low-cost, robust platform for learning high-performance computing. We have improved and extended the Self Organizing Cluster (SOC) system we demonstrated in 2020, in order to make learning about cluster computing more convenient and accessible at St. Olaf and elsewhere. The SOC consists of Raspberry Pi units and other commodity hardware components and standard Linux-based open-source software (i.e., a Beowulf cluster), and is designed for automated cluster configuration, making it possible for beginners to conveniently setup, learn from, and tear down a cluster within a single class period
