So what's a big #PiCluster look like? Like this! This is just one of five 150 node cluster modules we've built for @LosAlamosNatLab using humble @Raspberry_Pi and BitScope Blade goo.gl/EvPaK7
Woo hoo! @Raspberry_Pi Compute Module 4! Our view? For deeply embedded designs that need full PCIe I/O, it's the ONLY game in town.

The #HPC world is the poorer for the untimely loss of Rich “the guy in the red hat” Brueckner. He had an infectious enthusiasm for all things HPC that will be missed by many. obits.oregonlive.com/obituar…
The Raspberry Pi software stack is maturing. Raspbian will continue to exist but with the addition of a 64bit kernel (most welcome news!) a new OS naming convention is needed.
Useful forum post from @plugwash describing the historical confusion around the name "Raspbian", and the thinking behind adopting the name "Raspberry Pi OS" for future @Raspberry_Pi images. raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt…
On Cluster Blade, each node has a BMC, essentially a "tiny BitScope" that monitors current, voltage and temperature. It controls the cooling fan, manages node power and communicates via an extensible RS485 control bus to implement the control plane.

With the release of the 8G Raspberry Pi 4B today, we have one of our own, Cluster Blade! The combination of the two offers the ultimate Pi Cluster solution. Check it out and let us know what you think bitscope.com/blog/JK/?p=JK38…
Canonical Kubernetes Cluster; two nodes, perfect!
We can confirm #BladeDuo from @element14_Avnet supports a pair of #RaspberryPi4 when overclocked to 2GHz! It pulls 2A+ at 12V (24W) and hots up but we have the cooling solution coming. Stay tuned!

If you're waiting for your #RaspberryPi4, but have some RPi2 nodes collecting dust (I have 10!) - it turns out that #kubernetes with #k3s works just fine.
Here's my 2x node RPi2 cluster in a BitScope Blade Duo from @BitScopeDesigns
Just follow my guide - blog.alexellis.io/test-drive…
Great stuff Alex!

You can wait for the @docker team to package for #buster for your #picluster or read @alexellisuk post and patch it now :)

Running k3s with Raspbian Buster and hosted in a @BitScopeDesigns blade

Thanks to @miniNodes and @Rancher_Labs for helping with SDcards.

Brings new meaning to the statement, “let’s take a look inside #RaspberryPi4” :) imgur.com/a/Y6mtR2E

@MissPhilbin @Raspberry_Pi @nickyringland @james_zaki Two years later and the first Pi Hub we donated in Nepal is still inspiring! We will begin collecting donations for the 7th one now. @BitScopeDesigns

You can you still use the new #RaspberryPi4 with @BitScopeDesigns products, inlcuding the Micro, Mini and Blade! Find out more here: bit.ly/2J7K2k9
We've used @Raspberry_Pi 4 Model B with the full suite of tools we use to design our own products, including KiCAD and our own BitScope DSO and Logic applications. They all work flawlessly, and fast bitscope.com/news/?p=N2019
