Sounds really interesting.How did it work out performance wise? Did it exceed your expectations? What kind of hardware were you running?
I have often wondered about the potential of clusters vs modern processors (i7, etc) for certain applications. Based on your experience do you feel older hardware as a cluster could be a viable option for web hosting or similar? Thinking along the lines of reuse rather than recycle and giving the old stuff a worthwhile job.
Could be additional applications for IoT with all the data being collected from various sensors and such. All rather useless unless the data can be processed and meaningful information produced.

Malcolm from the Exeter lug (and possibly here) helped with this. North Devon Tech jam sounds good, The Cornwall jam is organised with software Cornwall, Is there a similar group in Devon? who we can get on board with. ? Paul- -- http://www.zleap.netHave there been any Beowulf clusters or similar set up as part of the southerly tech jams at all? Potential good / interesting use of old hardware (I certainly have a few parts lying around which I could contribute). Could "race" it against the Parallella Epiphany III...

I wonder if it could be a good thing to get in for one of the Cornwall or Devon tech jams so people could experiment with any parallel processing applications they've been developing. Could remotely dial in and give it a go.
