4Parallel Computing using DIU Pi Cluster, February, 2017

What is parallel computing?


Parallel Programming?

• Problem is divided into process and passed to CPUs parallel and then collected together


Why parallel computing?

• The primary reasons for using parallel computing: – Save time - wall clock time – Solve larger problems – Provide concurrency (do multiple things at the

same time)


Grand Computing Challenges• Traditionally, parallel computing has been considered

to be "the high end of computing" and has been motivated by numerical simulations of complex systems and "Grand Challenge Problems" such as: – weather and climate – chemical and nuclear reactions – biological, human genome – geological, seismic activity – mechanical devices - from prosthetics to spacecraft – electronic circuits – manufacturing processes


Who and What?


Raspberry Pi?• University of Cambridge’s Computer Laboratory– Decline in skill level– Designed for education

• A credit card sized PC• Plugs into a TV or monitor• Inexpensive(ish) ~$35 each• Capability:– Programming– Electronic Projects– Office– Play HD Videos

DIU Pi ClusterDIU Pi cluster is a new generation cluster technology. It’s a prototype project power by Raspberry Pi . we design a very low cost cluster with low cost hardware and equipment. DIU Pi cluster is build for serve multi purpose Technology Like Big Data , Parallel processing,Medical image processing and also for Artificial intelligence (AI) implementation


DIU Pi Cluster Design


Pi Cluster Components

• Raspberry Pi B+ (10 pieces)• Raspberry Pi Power Adapter• A fine wooden Box• Transparent plastic casing• A Wi-Fi Router & Network Switch• 10 Pieces SD Cards• Cat 5 cable• Power extension strip


Work in Progress (1/3)


DIU Cluster in Action


Testing Implementation

Implemented some parallel programming with parallel python to test the cluster computing .

1.Matrix multiplication2.Prime number calculation 3.Values of pi π calculation


CPU usage of Pi Cluster


DIU Cluster Demo


Future Scope

• 200 nodes cluster based on this prototype DIU Pi Cluster .. seek innovation funding

• Apply DIU Pi Cluster in Health Informatics• Apply DIU Pi Cluster in Agri Business• Apply DIU Pi Cluster in Pharmaceutical

Industry
