Everything these days runs JavaScript. Browsers run single page JavaScript applications interacting with server-side JavaScript applications running Node.JS. Now embedded micro-controllers such as the Tessel 2 even run JavaScript!

The Computes.io supercomputer is designed to run distributed computing operations on any computing resource capable of running JavaScript.

Tessel 2 fulfills our goal of turning micro-controllers into supercomputing cores when idle. Here’s a video of computes.io running on the Tessel 2.

To connect your Tessel 2 to the computes.io supercomputer, download and run its core from https://github.com/computes/tessel-core. Read the getting started with Tessel: https://tessel.github.io/t2-start/

Here are the steps to connect your Tessel to Computes.io:

  • git clone repository
  • npm install
  • t2 wifi -n {network} -p {password}
  • t2 run index.js (run interactively)
  • t2 push index.js (run embedded)

Computes will soon run everywhere!
