#super6c
Good deal on DeskPi Super6c at Micro Center. I'm guessing it's not the biggest seller in store.

Finishing some runtime system work; decided to try a #deskpi #super6c cluster board.

An ITX form factor beowulf cluster is amazing.

#slurm & #nfs worked out of apt.

#ucx, #openmpi, #openshmem, #openpmix, #gasnet, & #hpx needed custom compilation.

The only day I get to sleep in 1h longer, they release #CM5 - all sold out by now! The cool thing about the #ComputeModule5 by #RaspberryPi is that for the most part, it is compatible with #CM4 accessories.
Now I need #Super6C board for CM5 to set up my website server!

After playing with #HomeAssistant for a couple of weeks, I have moved it to my permament automation server. It will live along #NodeRED, #Grafana #Postres #InfluxDB nodes on #Super6C - a #ComputeModule4 cluster I dedicated to home automation:

Correct! The CM5's were sold separately.

The CM5's communicate over an internal ethernet network baked into the super6c board.

There's a new SBC cluster king: The Turing RK1 is 2x faster than Pi 5, 5x faster than Pi 4, and I test four of them in a new 10" mini rack: www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6zt...
Meet the new SBC Linux Cluster King!
Visit squarespace.com/redshirtjeff to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain. Turing Pi's shaking things up with their new RK1. It's 5x faster than the Pi CM4. But is it worth the price? Dive into my test results, then we'll rack up two SBC clusters: 6 Pi CM4s on the DeskPi Super6c cluster board, and 4 Turing Pi RK1s in the Turing Pi 2.

@jefflayton.bsky.social #botblox has several ethernet switch boards that are worth a look. Lots of options. There's a definite through line between embedded ethernet switch boards and the on board interconnect offered by the #super6c

So this is a super6c board with CM5 modules?

In looking around I can't quite find how the modules communicate with each other. Is is over USB or external Ethernet? Thanks!

BTW - looks pretty cool to me! If I can understand everything I want to build one.

The first 12-15 minutes of this video were particularly helpful for learning the workflow to load an OS onto the CM5s using the board. I'm not an ansible and k8s user so...I sort of skipped over those parts.

this is the thing that Royal Mail managed to deliver in my absence (apparently due to arrive today: the case it's meant to go in)
