A Mini-Cluster Based on Microcontroller Computing Nodes
Šídlo, Boleslav ; Mrázek, Vojtěch (referee) ; Bidlo, Michal (advisor)
The objective of this bachelor thesis is to investigate a low-cost computing cluster, composed of microcontrollers-based nodes, for parallel computing tasks. The work deals with the behaviour and limitations of the platform in various situations. Experiments were performed using 4 development boards equipped with 8-bit microcontrollers. I2C seriál interface was used for the communication between the nodes. The experiments were devoted to the comparison of computing times of a sequential algorithm (running on a single minrocontroller only) and the parallel version using the cluster. The results showed that the cluster can speed-up the computation of applications that does not require a high communication overhead. Moreover, the microcontrollers applied showed as unsuitable for floating-point computing if a high accuracy of the results is required.
