Project overview

For this project, you will perform the following steps:

  1. You will initially configure a Pi2 or Pi3 (one-node), four-core supercomputer.
  2. You will then command (using OpenMPI) all four cores to simultaneously solve the simple Project overview equations discussed previously.
  3. You will then proceed to assemble a two-node Pi2 or Pi3, 8-core supercomputer, which you will configure to operate in parallel with each other, and again, run said Project overview programs using all eight cores.
  4. Finally, you will construct an eight-node Pi2 or Pi3, 32- or 64-core supercomputer, which you will then command to rapidly crunch and smash through substantial equations (see equations in the Appendix ). Some of these equations require as few as two iterations, while others require hundreds or thousands, and millions of iterations to produce an excellent approximate Project overview value. You will, indeed, be delighted at observing the gradual reduction in processing time, as you successively bring online increasing numbers of cores...
