Abstract:
We gift our work in progress of building a Raspberry Pi cluster consisting of three
nodes. The distinctive characteristics ofthis single board may cause many challenges,
however additionally provide a number of attention-grabbing opportunities. On the
other hand, a single Raspberry Pi will be purchased cheaply and features a low power
consumption that makes it attainable to form an inexpensive and energy-efficient
cluster. On the opposite hand, it lacks in computing power that makes it troublesome
to run computationally intensive software thereon. Withal, by combining an
oversized variety of Raspberries into a cluster, it lessens the setback partially. Here
we have a tendency to report on the primary necessary steps ofmaking our cluster: a
way to find out and tack the hardware and therefore the system software, and the way
to observe and maintain the system. We also discuss potential use cases for our
cluster, the two most vital being a reasonable and inexperienced test bed for cloud
computing research and a strong and mobile information centre for operative in
adverse environments.
