Is this possible
a raspberry pi that plugs into a pci slot like a video card that assist your cpu or that you could send it task to complete so it dosent slow down your main cpu kinda of like with multicpu supercomputers
Re: Is this possible
don't really think that a bus on the pi would be fast enough to do this. Also you wouldn't get a whole l of performance boosts out of this considering the pi runs @ 700 Mhzwhopops wrote:a raspberry pi that plugs into a pci slot like a video card that assist your cpu or that you could send it task to complete so it dosent slow down your main cpu kinda of like with multicpu supercomputers

Re: Is this possible
50 years ago Seymour Cray designed the CDC 6600 which did something similar - a fast (for it's day!) CPU with 10 smaller, tightly coupled processors handling I/O, job scheduling and other O/S tasks, etc. in order to free up the CPU for user jobs. The 6600 was considered the first "super computer" (and interestingly, also the first RISC processor)
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Re: Is this possible
you can do this over a network. go look up the MPI protocols
Good luck!
