Yes, but how many RPis do you need to match the workload of a single x86 core? How much does it cost to cluster and maintain these systems? IMO you would probably have a better story all around if you based your cluster on low end AMD chips, or perhaps even old refurbished systems.
That's not to say this isn't cool engineering for engineering's sake. Just that if you are considering practical applications for this, maybe think twice.
- jacquesm 7y agoWhen you need that guarantee of isolation you are picking your solution for different reasons than when you need a particular workload. So there is no point comparing the workload if that wasn't the deciding factor in the first place.
- Skunkleton 7y agoMy point is that you can probably get physical isolation for less money on x86.
- jacquesm 7y agoYou're going to have to explain a bit more on how you intend to achieve that economy. I'm not aware of a single SOC+peripherals based on x86 that would beat the Pi in price/performance, is there such a thing?
