Chapter 3. Preparing the Initial Two Nodes
Building a multi-node Pi2 or Pi3 supercomputer requires configuring, initially, the first two nodes (master and first slave). The slave1 disk image (more on this later) can then be cloned for producing any number of remaining slave nodes, as you expand the processing capacity of the super stack. In the ensuing paragraphs, you will be presented with a list of parts. You will learn about the origin of the Pi microcomputer and its technical specs. Additionally, you will be instructed on how to configure the master Pi node, in preparation for transferring the requisite test codes from the main PC to the master node, and finally, you will configure the first slave node to create a two-node supercomputer.
