English | 2017 | ISBN: 978-1787282582 | 254 Pages | PDF, EPUB, AZW3 | 35 MB

A step-by-step guide that will enhance your skills in creating powerful systems to solve complex issues
This book’s mission is to effectively instruct anyone, with basic computer hardware and software skills, on how to construct an affordable Pi3 supercomputer. If you are looking at performing high-level computation with microchips, then this book is for you.
Author Carlos R. Morrison (Staff Scientist, NASA) will empower the uninitiated reader to quickly assemble and operate a Pi3 supercomputer in the shortest possible time. The lifeblood of a supercomputer, the MPI code, is introduced early, and sample MPI code provides additional practice opportunities for you to test the effectiveness of your creation. You will learn how to configure various nodes and switches so that they can effectively communicate with each other. By the end of this book, you will have successfully built a supercomputer and the various applications related to it.
