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.

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.
