Effects of Combining Multi-Core Processors in Creating Super-Computers Using Raspberry Pis

The vast resources of old working computers are getting bigger and bigger. Companies that consider these old computers as obsolete but still working put these computers to the storage, or worse, junk. Different entities are more and more relying on supercomputers to replace their ordinary and old computers. Supercomputers have become a basic necessity in this generation. It has a wide variety of functions that make our daily work easier. Having a well-built supercomputer with excellent specifications is a must; however, it comes with a cost. The computers can be clustered to create a supercomputer. The computers used in these clustered supercomputers have the exact specifications, such as uniform models with the same number of cores per processor and the same memory capacity. This study focuses on creating a supercomputer using different processors with a different number of cores per processor, processor speed, and different memory capacity. This study can be a valuable system for entities that have old computers in their workplace. They can reuse their old computers and combine them with other computers to create a supercomputer, thus reducing waste and recycling old resources. This study will be using different typesof Raspberry Pi (RPi) computers combining old and new models to simulate the scenario of combining multi-core processors in creating supercomputers.
