Adding some more nodes
Now that I have a bit of room I have added the prototype Pi^4 case back into the cluster. Its got 4 x Pi3B's which are a little slower than the 3B+ but can still crunch numbers. It took a little time to get them updated to the latest Raspbian and to reconfigure the router.
At the moment I have it running Seti work which I might leave it on for a week or so before moving it back to Einstein. The first batch of Seti multi-beam work units took 20 hours to complete.
That brings the cluster up to:
4 x Pi3B nodes
12 x Pi3B+ nodes
Other news
I was hoping the Raspberry Pi foundation might announce a new model Pi but it seems they just rounded out the existing models and it will probably be next year before we see a new model. That means I might as well order the additional 12 Pi3B+'s that I need to complete the Bitscope Blade Rack.
