It's been a while. Some Kickstarters take time. What do you think about doing the same thing 10 times in a row, over and over? If that's your jam, build a cluster like I did in this video! If you want to replicate the Compute Blade Cluster, here are all the parts I used (some links are affiliate links): - Compute Blade DEV: - Compute Blade Standard Fan Unit: - Compute Blade 10" 3D Print Rackmount: - Raspberry Pi CM5 16GB (CM5016000): - GLOTRENDS Aluminum CM5 Heatsink: - Patriot P300 256GB NVMe SSD 10-pack: - GigaPlus 2.5 Gbps 10 port PoE+ switch: - GigaPlus 10" Rack Mount 3D Print ears: - Monoprice Cat6A SlimRun 6" Cat6 patch cables (10 pack): - ioplex SFP+ Twinax DAC patch cable: - DeskPi RackMate TT: Other resources mentioned in the video: - My older Compute Blade video: - Xerxes Pi Kickstarter: - Xerxes Pi testing: - Unredacted Labs' Tor exit cluster: - World's Largest Pi Cluster at UC Santa Barbara: Support me on Patreon: Sponsor me on GitHub: Merch: 2nd Channel: @GeerlingEngineering 3rd Channel: @Level2Jeff Contents: 00:00 - 2 years 2 long 00:32 - Another blade 01:30 - Unboxing a cluster 03:06 - Assembling one of 10 06:11 - A bandolier of microSD cards 07:16 - Assembling blades 2-10 08:16 - Next steps - fans and storage 10:17 - Flashing NVMe drives 11:00 - Only Fan Units 12:45 - They all just... disappeared 14:33 - Spending another $200 15:45 - Cluster benchmarks: HPL 16:23 - Spending another $70 17:03 - Framework cluster vs Pi cluster 18:12 - AI clustering (down one node) 19:26 - is totally RPC 20:54 - Exo and Distributed Llama 22:09 - Blade (the movie) vs blade (the compute)
