The Raspberry Pi has spurred development and ingenuity around the world, with its small capacity allowing users around the world to experiment and build with all kinds of computing.
But the hardware can also be scaled enormously, and TechRadar Pro got to see the world’s largest Raspberry Pi cluster while attending Oracle Cloud World in Las Vegas.
Oracle noted that the Raspberry Pi is the ideal choice for cluster computing, where developers, researchers and data scientists choose to experiment at home rather than in the cloud.
Raspberry Pi overload
With its small footprint and unbridled flexibility and scale, the Raspberry Pi has proven to be a popular choice, with clusters bringing multiple Raspberry Pi devices onto a single system to boost performance.
At Cloud World, Oracle was able to showcase the underlying technologies of the Raspberry Pi cluster, including APEX, GraalPython, Java, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle Database, and Oracle Linux, with attendees able to use augmented reality headsets to gain additional insight into what the cluster is doing. can do.
“The Raspberry Pi has created a whole new class of computing devices and fundamentally changes the way systems are designed,” said Chris Bensen, Cloud Experience Developer, Oracle.
“For 10 years now, the Raspberry Pi has brought together a community of enthusiasts, professionals, students and educators who are trying what is possible with technology. This tiny computer performs high computational tasks and has had a significant impact on the industry as a whole.”
