Unlike Raspberry Pi systems and their efficient ARM architecture, clusters made from x86 devices are energy gluttons and can single-handedly blow a hole in your wallet with their sky-high wattage.

The world’s largest Raspberry Pi cluster, built by Oracle, has found a new home at UC Santa Barbara for research, teaching and innovation in the Internet of Things.

A new project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory’s High Performance Computing Division seeks to make supercomputers more accessible with a little help from some Raspberry Pi clusters.
