[ExeterLUG] meeting reminders

[Rick Timmis]

HI Malcom 

Sorry you can;t be there tonight 

I am certainly up for
this, and have 2 Pi's, with PSU and cards that I can put into the cluster.
I have always been fascinated by Beowulf clustering so +1 from me 

See you
soon

Hi Guys,  Sorry I can't make it this month, I was planning to be there but
can't now make it. I'm pretty certain I can make next month's meeting.   I
plan to set up a Raspberry Pi Beowulf Cluster (just for fun) with a couple
RPis I have easy access to, if I get it all working, I was wondering if as
a group we'd be interested in spending one of our Friday evenings setting
up an extended cluster, to see if we can beat the performance of a PC
running Ubuntu. The group has a network switch that will probably be big
enough, so all we'd need is for members to bring a pi, power supply and 4Gb
SD card that they don't mind being overwritten. I've got quite a few
network cables I can lay my hands on.  There's a standard 'calculate pi to
n decimal places' test which seems appropriate to be the first program to
run on our raspberry pi cluster but obviously we can then experiment with
other parallel tasks to throw at it...   Just an idea, let me know what you
think!  Malcolm
