Super stack assembly

Let's have a look at the hardware we would be using to assemble the super cluster. First up are the aluminum cooling fins used to cool the microchips on the Pi computer:

Aluminium cooling fins (eight sets needed)

Next, we see two Pi3s secured in the stackable case as it should appear in your two-node supercomputer. You will expand on this as you build the 8 or 16-node supercomputer:

Sidewinder stackable case with Pi2/3 secured

The following are the figures of the Ethernet color-coded cables that you will be using to connect your cluster to the network switch:

The following is the Sabrent 60 Watts 10-port USB rapid charger you will be using to power your super cluster:

Carlos R. Morrison

Carlos R. Morrison was born in Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies. He received a B.S. (Hons) degree in physics with a mathematics minor in 1986 from Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY, and an M.S. degree in physics in 1989 from Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY. In 1989, he joined the NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, OH, as a staff scientist in the solid-state physics branch and, in 1999, he transferred to the structures and dynamics branch. He has authored and coauthored several journal and technical articles associated with aerospace and electromagnetic devices. He holds several patents, including one on the Morrison Motor for which he won the 2004 R&D 100 Award, and software technologies used to control magnetic bearings. He is currently engaged in research associated with room temperature and superconducting reluctance motors, and Simulink Simulation of said motors. Mr. Morrison is a member of the American Physical Society and the National Technical Association.
