Supercomputing should be available for everyone who wants it.

This presentation will show why developers might care about supercomputing; Why parallel computing matters and how parallel computing can deliver better results for clients.

The presentation will implement these concepts using Parallella, an 18-core supercomputer that’s a little bigger than a credit card and is affordable to nearly everyone. Similar to Raspberry Pi, but with more power, Parallella is open source hardware; the circuit diagrams are on GitHub and the machine runs Linux and is a very energy efficient supercomputer.
