Newbie here
Which is better osmc or openelec?

Hi, newbie here,
Do I need to buy dongle WiFi even I installed Yatse app in my phone?

Thanks, sifu

OSMC is Debian based Linux and XBMC is run on top of it
OpenElec is purely XBMC.much more snappier than OSMC.

As long as Yatse n the RPI is in the same network,ure good to go.no need any wifi dongle

Just got my Raspberry Pi 2 B+ not long ago from Element14. Now thinking what can I do with this tiny monster.

I have a cluster of 32 + 1 Pi... Proof of concept for distributed processing problem such as calculating pi number.

Nice one,got pic of the hardware? MPI based?

Here you go... MPI based. Maybe going to try different framework later

Wow,cable management damn nice! mine is a mess... Academic,corporate or hobby?

Hahaha

It's academic + hobby. Ultimate satisfaction

which uni? Mine is also funded by academic,nothing much to do with the clusters except proof of concept. I did write a very small message passing program to try out parallel programming.noticed that the more nodes u have,the more difficult it is to manage

how long it took to arrive from element14? very interested in buying this.can buy one ar? coz at element14 website stated if wtb one is via their reseller.hopefully still got stock.

Can share how u do the clustering? Ubuntu openstack?

Want to implement a cloud solution.

My cluster is based on this link, link and link

TQ for the links. Is damn technical....

The links technical detail is quite outdated, but it serves as a guideline on what to do. Some minor modifications needed with newer version tools / applications used.

It took like one week to reach my place. BTW I'm staying in Australia right now. The time might be different compared to Malaysia.

my built,5+1..initially plan to built 10+1 but i find no use of adding the other 5 Pi after writing some parallel program

Nice setup...want to let one go?

BTW....your exposed conductors on the power connector does pose a shock risk. Be careful.

Nice Yah, some program doesn't benefit much after a certain amount of node being used, but some do. I'm still exploring, but my rig had been sitting idle for some time. Too busy

Let one go?haha..I thought u can order it from RS or element

Noted,still thinking what to do with it

There are a lot of C based MPI program on the net,tested Prime number program,useful for up to 19 threads only
