HimMUC Cluster
HimMUC is a flexible cluster of ARM devices consisting of 40 Raspberry Pi 3 and 40 ODroid C2 single board computers (SBC). The cluster is used for teaching (practical course low-level programming for games development) as well as for research and evaluations.
Raspberry Pi 3
- SoC: Broadcom BCM2837
- CPU: 4 x ARM Cortex-A53, 1.2 GHz (real 1.1 GHz)
- GPU: Broadcom VideoCore IV
- RAM: 1GB (900 MHz)
- Network: 100 MBit Ethernet
- Rpeak: 384 (no GPU)
ODroid C2
- SoC: Amlogic S905
- CPU: 4 x ARM Cortex-A53, 1.5 GHz
- GPU: Mali-450
- RAM: 2GB (912 MHz)
- Network: 1 GBit Ethernet
- Rpeak: 480 GFLOPS (no GPU)
Software
The Raspberry Pi nodes as well as the ODroid nodes of the cluster are running in 64-bit mode (AArch64) and employ Debian 10 (Buster) as operating system. For development, recent versions of GCC, Make, CMake, Meson and GDB are provided; parallel programming of multiple nodes is possible via OpenMPI.
