Oracle's New Supercomputer Has 1,060 Raspberry Pis
- astrea 7y agoIs that what they were gonna offer for the JEDI contract? :D
- tyingq 7y ago$201M if you want to spin up an Oracle Enterprise instance on it ($47,500/core x 1060 x 4).
- jmb12686 7y agoDoes anyone know what power supply they are using? I am having trouble finding a good, rack-able USB power supply for my cluster of raspberryPis. If anyone at the conference can sneak a peak at the PSU brand / model number, that would be great!
- michaelbrave 7y agoI helped assemble this, the guy you would want to ask is https://twitter.com/chrisbensen https://twitter.com/chrisbensen
- Piskvorrr 7y agoThe power supply in picture seems to be labeled WANLONGXIN, which Google says is a manufacturer apparently.
- mips_avatar 7y agoThe important thing to remember about USB cables is that you can cut them open and do whatever you want. If you can solder, you can hook up the power and ground to anything with 5V.
- CaptainJustin 7y agoNot sure what they used. In my tiny 4 Pi cluster I'm using a regular 1U server PSU. It supplies 5v and can easily supply the current needed for the four Pis.
- Retroity 7y ago> ServeTheHome asked Oracle why it chose to create a cluster of Raspberry Pis instead of using a virtualized Arm server and one company rep said simply that "...a big cluster is cool." Honestly that's a totally valid reason to make something like this. This is super cool.
