Showing The 96-Core Ubuntu ARM Cluster In Action

Posted by Michael Larabel on June 21, 2012

As a follow-up to the Building A 96-Core Ubuntu ARM Solar-Powered Cluster, here's some videos and other information on this ~200 Watt ARM cluster that was running Ubuntu 12.04 and assembled out of 48 PandaBoards.

Below are some videos recordings of the MIT 48 PandaBoard cluster that was assembled last weekend in Cambridge. These videos are embedded from YouTube and recorded by Brian DeLacey.
