And this is our November 4th update video

I am going to tell you a little bit of how far we

gone in the past 4 months

So what you can see behind me is all 33 of our computers running

We do 64 RasberryPis

But due to the lack of sufficient power

And we are working on our current power supply And then we will be able to step it up to

64 nodes

So essentially what we have been focusing on is

How to scale this problem up

Because you run into a lot of networking and technical issues

Especially when you start getting more and more Raspberry Pis

And we had to find a lot of different ways to

servicing the software on the Raspberry Pis

So I know that we run a PSSH which is a Parallel SSH client

Which allows us to SSH all the Raspberry Pis at once

especially when you want to something like power off by software

Because hard powering off the Raspberry Pi can sometime lead to corrupted operating systems

Which is obviously a pain

Another thing we are working on is the network

We reorganized the network from a DHCP to a Static IP network

This makes the system more manageable especially when the

Cisco router (up here) wasn't behaving like it the way supposed to be

As well we also have been working on our GalaxSEE

Which simulates essentially galaxies in space

And how it works is just like this I have a thousands stars in my galaxy and

I place them in random positions in my Matrix and

What I used is Newton's law of gravitations to calculate

the force in between every single particle

For Example 40 thousand particles I have about 40 thousand forces to calculate

And What I do is run the simulation over multiple time steps

Say I Run it over a thousand years

And when I run it over a thousand years You can watch the simulation in real time

on the monitor behind me

and This gives you a really good sense of how the super computer "Does"

You can also use the switches to watch the communication in real time

And because the switches have so many lights on them

You can actually watch between different integral methods

So different methods that integrate the program between the multiple computers

How the communication shifts from a direct communication to a Barnes-Hutch

Kind of simulation

or a PPM distribution simulation
