CLOUD-PI: AFFORDABLE AND ENERGY EFFICIENT CLOUD COMPUTING CLUSTERS

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.
