When it comes to cluster-scale computing, size is not the main issue. The main issues are: compute/$ and compute/watt.
There is also the matter of how much RAM and disk can be attached to each board, and the speed of the NIC. Gigabit ethernet is a little slow these days.
- willis936 7y agoGbE is slow, yes, but GbE for the amount of compute a raspi 4 can do is massive. Raspis don’t even have the oomph to max out GbE links. You hook 48 raspi 4 into a switch and using a 25 GbE link to a storage cluster. Edit: It is conceivable that a raspi has the oomph to max out a GbE link but is limited to 300 Mbps due to the use of a USB 2.0 bridge in between the ethernet interface and the SoC. My mistake.
