    Book Description

    If you are a programmer, scientist, or someone interested in modern computer technology that goes beyond the typical PC, then this book will show you the outstanding possibilities of cluster computing with modern embedded systems based on ARM architecture. Whether you need a high-speed or low-cost scalable cluster for simulations or want to try something new, this book is the right guide for you.

    What you will learn

    • Use the minimal configuration necessary to control your BeagleBone via a network
    • Build your own scalable server rack and lowcost power supply
    • Set up the network backbone and configure the boards for cluster interconnection
    • Use FTP, Samba, or SCP for simple file transfers
    • Configure the OpenMPI Message Passing Interface for cluster communication and ScaLAPACK for distributed calculation of mathematical problems
    • Develop your own simulation software and visualize your data using a highly sophisticated physics simulation package
