Title: idea about building up a raspberry pi cluster?
Post by: lottery248 on July 29, 2017, 03:06:26 PM
i am planning to build up my own new PC, but since neither Intel not AMD giving a certain power efficiency for my own PC, and i am not prone to gaming except using Blender (http://www.blender.org) or minecraft, Raspberry Pi becomes my interest. however as the name implies, even for the third generation, will not be as fast as a i3 or Ryzen 3; that's why i am having a mind of building my own PC with numbers of Raspberry Pis clustered. i bet per one will be costing only 5~6 watts with modest overclocking. any idea of that? i am planning to build up a 20 node Raspberry Pi 3 Cluster, but will that be efficient for rendering? ???

FYI if i had more money i would build up a 60 node cluster, yet not sure the idea of such.
do you guys have such experience of assembling a cluster like that? i need a budget enthusiast PC lol :)

That's actually a very good idea. If you manage to do it you should post how you did it.
