10 Node Raspberry Pi Zero Cluster - Raspberry Pi Forums


hello, fellow (pi)oneers!

have been planning 10 node raspi 0 cluster mess , since pi 0 isn't expensive, what's harm. plan buy 11 pi zeros (1 masterboard , 10 nodes) , put them cluster-setup, run ubuntu/rasbian on , internet. need? 1 usb wifi adapter masterboard or 10 each node also? kind of psu need if put 8gb sd-cards each node , connect hdmi/dvi screen, usb mouse , keyboard it. "all-in" packet kind of cluster fit case , power wall. kind of adapters, cables etc. need? tips , tricks welcome beginner pi-user

already!

welcome forum! know, economical way connect bunch of pi zeros using gadget driver emulate ethernet device on usb. theoretically, powered usb hub 12 ports or better connect 10 pi zeros pi serves master. zeros use standard usb cables connect hub , receive power through data connection. master node need on-the-go adapter connect host port of hub. same kind of adapter used connect keyboard or mouse tablet, easy find. alternatively, use b+, 2b or 3b master. master need power connected power-in socket--either separate adapter or spare device port on hub.

10 nodes noticeably different 3. maintenance point of view essential automate system administration tasks changes made 1 node can propagated other 9. parallel programming point of view theoretical potential 10-fold speed increase difficult achieve because of network bandwidth constraints , latency. understanding these issues bunch pi zeros fun. real clusters subject similar constraints, engineering lessons learned , solutions found should useful well.
