Building a mini HPC - a bit of an update |
Since starting this project a couple of years ago, some work has gone into Pixie (our miniHPC).
Updated Pixie.
We are now up to five compute nodes and a login node.
- 6 x Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB
- 6 x PoE hats
- 1TB SSD
- Dual USB fan
- TP-Link 10 port PoE 150W (30W per port) switch
- Slurm
- Munge
- lmod
- EESSI
We use PXE so that our nodes are diskless. The PoE does away with all the power supplies and we have exactly one power cable.
