super computer

[tarekeldahrawy]

i am working on a project that is about building a smart car like google car but i am working on a small robot first ... so i wanted to use raspberry pi to be the brain of the project ,,, my next step is to make an image processing so that i can make the camera able to track a line ... some of my friends told me that the processor gets so hot just to make some face detection .. so my question is if i build a supercomputer will it aid my purpose ?? and if i am going to build supercomputer by 4 raspberry pies is it possible to use the gpios so that i can control all of them freely through webiopi for example to make a web interface and how can i do that if u please

my next step is to make an image processing so that i can make the camera able to track a line ... some of my friends told me that the processor gets so hot just to make some face detection .

I have seen examples of line tracking Pi robots recently, and they weren't using some kind of supercomputer.

Also the one DirkS linked to above has a forum post, with some other information:

I think this one uses the raspi for image processing, which passes its signals to another controller board that drives the vehicle.

As for getting hot - that is not likely to be a problem with the raspi. It's not a supercomputer, but it can handle various image processing things.
