Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
The article documents a personal learning project where the author sets up a cluster of tiny PCs for parallel computing. It covers the technical process including installing Ubuntu, configuring passwordless SSH, automating package installation across nodes, distributing R simulations, and comparing CV5 vs CV10 performance. The author shares their motivations for learning parallel computing to handle long-running simulations and describes the project as both educational and fun.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledEnjoyed learning the process of setting up a cluster of tiny PCs for parallel computing.
Part of something I want to learn this year is getting a little more into parallel computing.
How we can distribute simulation computations across different devices.
Lately, we have more reasons to do this because quite a few of our simulations require long running.
Fun project!
