Preface

This book explains how to build and operate a powerful eight or 16-node Pi2 or Pi3 supercomputer. You will be provided detailed systematic instructions on installing the Linux/Ubuntu operating system on your PC, and its use in configuring, communicating with, and ultimately operating your Pi supercomputer.

Initially, you will learn how to write and run a serial and a Message Passing Interface (MPI) π code on your PC, which is then used as a one-node supercomputer. Armed with this knowledge, you will then configure a Pi one-node, 4-core supercomputer on which you subsequently run the previous mentioned MPI π code. Next, you will assemble a two-node, 8-core Pi supercomputer on which, again, you will execute said MPI π code, and finally, you ...
