A Case for the ODROID-MC1 Solo: No, Not Justification for Building Your Own SBC Cluster; Rather a Clear Protective Case for $1

Common state-of-the-art simulations employ hundreds of thousands CPU cores on high-performance computing (HPC) systems to solve big societal challenges. In this context, the scalability and the simulation kernel performance are key to efficient multi-core computations. ▶
Here is brief summary of the kernels and crypto algorithms that were modified for the Odroid and the test results. ▶
There are many people using the XU4/MC1/HC1/HC2 for CPU crypto-mining ▶
This kernel version becomes particularly attractive for the Exynos 5422 ODROIDs, especially since it includes important fixes for the hardware video decoder and encoder (MFC), the hardware scaler and color space converter (GScaler), and a brand new driver for the HDMI CEC, that exposes the device as a infrared remote control. ▶
This guide is not meant to teach you how to write parallel programs on the ODROID-MC1. It is meant to provide you with an environment ready for experimenting with MPJ Express, a reference implementation of the mpiJava 1.2 API. ▶
The staff at Hardkernel built a big cluster computing setup for testing the stability of Kernel 4.9. The cluster consisted of 200 ODROID-XU4’s (i.e, with a net total of 1600 CPU cores and 400GB of RAM) ▶
The ODROID-HC1 is a single board computer (SBC) which is an affordable solution for a network attached storage (NAS) server, and the ODROID-MC1 is a simple solution for those who need an affordable and powerful personal cluster. ▶
Odroid XU4’s, developed by Hardkernel Co. Ltd, are quite popular. SBC systems in general are designed to be very power efficient, because of this they are pretty good at Verium mining. ▶
SBC water cooling is not new and others have implemented designs using off the shelf components for the ODROID-XU4 and other SBC. Some implementations have already been covered in ODROID Magazine in the past.
