Continuing the recent spate of artistic projects using the Pi, David Guill has created a “supercomputer” using 40 Raspberry Pis. His project called for the following:
- Build a model supercomputer, which structurally mimics a modern supercomputer.
- All hardware required for the cluster to operate is housed in a case no larger than a full tower.
- Parts that are likely to fail should be easy to replace.
- It should be space-efficient, energy-efficient, economically-efficient, and well-constructed.
- Ideally, it should be visually pleasing.
