P2C2: Portable Personal Cluster Computer

youmagine

Here is the rewritten text: I designed this 3D-printed case for an 8-node cluster of Nvidia Jetson-TK1 embedded Linux boards to master embedded Linux, CUDA, MPI, and other high-performance computing technologies. Each of the 7 vertical nodes features a Jetson board and a 2.5" SSD. The horizontal 'Master' node adds an extra Gig Ethernet port via the mini-pcie socket to connect to a development PC, a powered USB3 4-port hub, and a real-time-clock PCB. It connects to the 10" monitor via HDMI. An 8-port gigabit switch PCB crammed into the bottom case above the 300 watt power supply links all the nodes together. All I need is to plug the unit into an AC wall socket to develop CUDA /Cluster apps. You'll require a 3D printer capable of printing 225mm x 130mm parts ( ~9" by 6" bed). I've included .STEP format design files of all parts to facilitate modifications.
