Question

Greetings all.
I want to build a cluster for machine learning

I had encountered this online :

Is building such a thing recommendable for one such as I who has obviously not yet acquired the knowledge of an computer science Student.
I would want to do algorithmic trading[...]
perhaps someone can give me tips on requirements a SBC Should be able to fulfill as another question would be what SBC to build a cluster with.

Answer 1

Assuming you build the systems using existing OS and networking, the only tricky part is writing your software to work together across the cluster. I've networked a hundred Macintoshes to a mainframe. The software can get tricky, but Internet protocols can help with it. It is easiest to have one control system telling the others what to do.
