      Haha no joke, I was just now getting around to snagging an RPi4 8GB since I didn't buy one immediately when they first came out (Def regret that one), then pandemic began and they immediately jumped up like $50-100 for even the smallest sized RAM model in price, if you could even find a 4GB or 8GB for so long...
      Then I see a youtube video of someone building a custom gaming rig using a Raspberry Pi 5, and realized it's been much longer than i thought since the 4 released, and I never really was too attracted to the double micro-HDMI ports on the 4... and all the special case accessories stuff required to just attach a regular 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD .
      (Also, does anyone recommend still getting the new RPi 5, or is the 4 a better option?...im leaning towards the 5 much more, but figured i'd ask my fellow nerds in the comments )😂

      if you even "think" about getting an rpi for your desktop and gaming needs ... you're doing it wrong. Thats like wanting to buy construction machinery for your wool-knitting needs and interests. Pis never "really" had any markup, you always were able to buy one for 10-20 USD _(most bare/basic versions)_
      Rpis are development boards, home automation boards and even industrial tech components - they cannot be used like any sort of "normal computer", even though some Rpi-distros seem to "support" that. Maybe ... "dont" buy dev boards if you want another desktop. Thats stupid and makes no sense.

    Redundancy is only achieved on a per cpu board basis.
    If the power to the unit fails, all cpu boards fail.
    You need more than one unit to have full redundancy.

    • @alphabuilders
      @alphabuilders 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Nope, since your being a Norman about it id like to mention true redundancy needs 3 full setups in 3 different locations all connected via 2 separate branches of networking. If a fire takes out 1 location that would only leave 2 for the period until a replacement is setup and all data copied over. If we only used 2 locations then the day we need the redundancy we would be at risk as during the intensive operation of copying over all the data and running it hard to cover full load it would be the only available location in the world, and having to do a high risk full data copy and run its normal workload simultaneously meaning the redundant system has failed to provide redundancy. Hence 3 locations are needed, multiple backups at the same location only provide some usefulness such as data parity and reduced wear and tear plus low level localised hardware failure protection.

    • @jnharton
      @jnharton 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There is no such thing as "full redundancy" in reality. No way in the world you can guarantee that it will never all go offline at once.
      In the real world, designers make decisions about which parts of a system most need redundancy and which might only really benefit from a single backup (like the power supply).

    If you are on a budget you will probably be using Lenovo Tiny, HP Mini, Dell Micro. Because they are roughly the same cost or cheaper, and they are in stock. Well, they are dumping stock. barebones HP 6th/7th gen are 27 bones. You need processor ($5 and up), Ram ($5 and up) and power supply (~$8), and storage is NVME or SATA, (but PCIE x4 NVMe). Probably the smallest DDR4 you are going to find is a 4GB, but the good news is in bulk everything gets cheaper and you don't need the special carriers or cluster board at all. Don't get me wrong, Pi are cool, I have bought several, and just ordered the CM4, but not for a cluster.

    A 7995wx provides 192 threads, 12 teraflops for 350w…. An equivalent pi4 cluster would 3000w for that same compute power… 240w for the same thread count. And cost 60k to compete on throughput.
    Only if you had a very specific need for thread count and not throughout, something like monitoring a million plus inputs simultaneously in a RTOS environment would it make sense, even then it wouldn’t because anything that critical would need error correction at a hardware level.

    I have a ThreadRipper with 24c/48t cpu. I would be curious how much power would be required to power up the equivalent number of cores/threads using this clustering method. Using the ThreadRipper to mine Monero (thrashes the cpu 24/7) only runs me about 500 or so watts as measured at the wall.

    You should start using other SBCs than Raspberry Pi because the Raspberry Pi Foundation has big problems with transparency and openness. Maybe you can even design your own cluster board.

    Which OS do you use on the pi boards? I've been thinking that Linux Mint (with the ability to combine all nodes into a cirtual computer) would be good. Can imagine running a ton of them to create a cheap personal supercomputer.

      It's Ansible, but in this case it was managed by Ambedded. I also have been working on it a little in my Pi-Cluster repo on GitHub

    @chrismofer 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    one can learn to operate any number of programs like docker or kubernetes etc or to write your own parallelized software. I have a pi cluster with 32 cores, I ran a basic render farm with it.

    Neutron radiation will cause a bit flip and throw an error resulting in failure. The clusters are all doing the same thing, if any is different, it is ignored.

    I think these are really cool jeff, but I think people are wondering, what do you actually DO with them other than tinkering/experimenting/compiling the Linux Kernel daily(😂 Jk). What applications do these clusters have in the real world/what companies use them? I haven't seen anything like this in commercial use yet, I still mainly see large x86 servers with lots of sockets.

    • @JeffGeerling
      @JeffGeerling  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Edge clusters, mainly. That and education. There is a very niche use case for a low-power cluster with more than one node, that can run on one board in a small/low-power/low-cooling system. Most use cases are better served by just one faster system, and most workloads are hard to split up efficiently on small computers like these.

  • @AmeanAbdelfattah

    Whats the budget on making a complete cluster setup like the ones you're showing? I've always wanted to do this.

    • @JeffGeerling
      @JeffGeerling  ปีที่แล้ว

      The Pi clusters are a bit slower (only 1 Gbps connection to outside world), but all-in they cost around $400-500 for a 6 node cluster. The Mars 400 as tested (including drives) runs around $5000, but more if you want a support plan.

    you’re much more likely to face a PSU or storage issue first, so not sure if this solves a serious redundancy issue. Regarding scalability, just use VMs?

    I understood about 5% of that but well done. Haven't got a clue what it does but at least I know what a raspberry pi is! I was going to use one for setting up a retro gaming station, but I gave up cause Linux is super hard to understand.
