PROJECT VISION AND GOALS
VISION
Around 2015, as the Machine Learning leveraging cluster of computers became more popular, I built a cluster of Raspberry Pi model 3 running Hadoop as a miniature super computer. Up course, all did was to prove that it can be done, but was not fast enough to do anything useful. During the process, I learn a lot about the advantages of parallel or cluster computing and wanted to really understand the technology. I also wanted to artificially put a constraint in terms of hardware (e.g. CPU power and RAM) to focus my learning more on the software and algorithm rather than seeking solution through the faster hardware. As for now, there projects are no more than learning projects, but something tells me that this will eventually lead to something that will be very important in the future. So… as always, I keep moving forward.
GOALS
2019 - Organize my previous projects so it can be documented and serve as a platform for future learning.
2020 - Consolidate and document previous projects and narrow down to a few hardware platforms to serve as a launching point for future research projects.
