Build it and you will learn: Building an RPi2 cluster
Summary
With systems like the RPi2, you can build a very useful HPC cluster that doesn't use much power or cost much money. Moreover, you can develop HPC applications that are fairly representative of current production hardware, which will help you to learn about HPC administration and how to test and develop cluster tools.
In the next article, I'll help you set up compute nodes. Stay tuned!
