Share Description
In this course, you will learn :
- Make a supercomputer out of multiple Raspberry Pi 2 B+ computers running Raspbian.
- Make a working Raspberry Pi from a basic Raspbian installation and customise it to your specifications.
- Create and spool up slave Raspberry Pi nodes in a fraction of the time it takes to set them up individually.
- With comfort and ease, manage the Raspberry Pi computer cluster entirely through the Linux command line interface.
- Install OpenMPI, then compile and run multi-processor programmes from scratch.
- Discover the fundamentals of writing a multi-threaded C programme.
- Create a computer network with your home router, or use a managed switch to expand to a production-level network.
- Export and mount drives, as well as communicate between Raspberry Pis, are all done via the command line.
