Supercomputers are typically huge and expensive, and they take an awful lot of power to run. Looking for a cheaper way allow developers to build and test high performance computer system software, the ...

LOS ALAMOS, N.M., November 13, 2017--A quest to help the systems software community work on very large supercomputers without having to actually test on them has spawned an affordable, scalable system ...

When you need more computing power, there are usually two solutions: throw in a more powerful processor or throw in more processors. In supercomputing, the latter is often the more efficient solution.

Let’s say you’re a systems-software developer working on a program for a large supercomputer without access to one to actually test it on; what would you do? The High Performance Computing (HPC) ...

The Raspberry Pi has become an extremely popular development platform (see “Arduino, Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone?”). It can run Linux and hooks up to displays and Ethernet networks. The latest ...

Developers requiring a platform to test their scalable software for supercomputers now have an inexpensive solution. Designed and built by BitScope in collaboration with the Department of Energy’s Los ...

Software developers who write (or want to write) software for supercomputers just got a huge holiday present: a way to test their software for bugs without having to use a supercomputer. It’s an ...

While most people are happy enough with one Raspberry Pi, the more adventurous may want to combine multiple Pis to build more powerful devices. element14 is now selling blades developed by Bitscope ...

Farnell element14 has partnered with Australian test gear house BitScope Designs to manufacture and distribute BitScope Micro, a dual-channel digital oscilloscope for Raspberry Pi. Also working with ...

A new project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory’s High Performance Computing Division seeks to make supercomputers more accessible with a little help from some Raspberry Pi clusters. Share on ...
