Computes.io Cores Running on C.H.I.P.

The new $9 C.H.I.P. computers are pretty cool! They have built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 running on a 1Ghz processor with 512MB RAM and 4GB SSD.

Connecting this computer to the Computes.io supercomputer was extremely simple!

Connect the C.H.I.P. to your TV and a mouse and keyboard. This is required to connect the Wi-Fi network. Once on the network, you can SSH into the board to run the rest of the commands.

Install Node.JS, NPM, and Git as follows:

Clone computes.io client (core), npm install, and run as follows:

If everything goes well, the C.H.I.P. connects to computes.io and starts asking for supercomputer computing requests!

Here’s a video of computes in action!

Supercomputing with C.H.I.P. computers is as simple as 1.2.3.
