This repo contains notes on building and programming a cluster comprised of multiple Raspberry Pi computers. It assumes relatively little prior knowledge, but does notably assume basic knowledge of the C programming language. Solutions to some exercises are provided.
The document is split into five sections:
- Assembly of the Raspberry Pi cluster, including installing necessary software on each node. The section ends by running the
xhplbenchmark on the cluster to determine its processing power. - Distributed C programming on the cluster using MPI (Message Passing Interface).
- Parallel C programming using multiple cores of a single cluster node using OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing).
- Hybrid parallel C programming using both MPI and OpenMP.
- An additional section on CUDA programming, which can't be completed on the Raspberry Pi cluster.
Each section is precompiled in its own directory as main.pdf.
