Does it have to? It sounds like they're using this as a learning platform rather than a serious $/FLOP/Watt cluster.
In that case you'd want to make it easy to get funding, and be optimising for initial cost. What would be the cost of 64 of your laptops?
- montecarl 14y agoIt certainly doesn't have to! I just wanted to share the results of an experiment I did with numerical computing on the RPi. Certainly laptops aren't the idea platform to compare against anyways. I'd compare to a 1u node that you would buy for compute cluster. One can by a 64 core 1u node with 64 GB of ram for about $7k. If one wants to play around with cluster computing you can emulate an entire cluster using one of those!
