Parellalla and Beowulf
by bkelly13 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5E55A)
Is Parellella dead? Is there something equivalent or close to it? Is anyone working on anything of this nature? Or know of any such project or product? I find precious little about it. A parallalla forum has no recent posts. There was a post about one guy starting Parallella then going on to something else.
Details: I discovered the Parellella board five years back or so and was interested. I now have the time to do something. My thoughts are to build a small cluster with, say, four Parallella boards, or equivalent, get a couple of small software projects working, then see if there is a market for that or for larger systems.
I think of this type of project as a Beowulf cluster, but far more efficient than using cheap/old computers in terms of space and power. If the hardware can be had, the hardware part will be simple. The software part, a tad bit more difficult.
I post here because I see Linux as the hands down best option. I think there is existing code in github and maybe other places.
Any thoughts?
