So the stage was set for another of my little challenges – figuring out how to get the Raspbian binaries to run on Ubuntu, and then how to get Mathematica to run parallel computations on my cluster. However, my cluster runs Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial), and I’m not going to throw away vastly improved packages and a working setup to return to Raspbian (not to mention the work of having to reflash all the SD cards again). As it would happen, it does in fact allow me to have partial access to most of the new features (yeah, including the Pokémon database…), so that’s been fun.īut after playing with it for a while under Raspbian, I realized that it also supports remote Mathematica kernels (a feature I used infrequently, but with great results many years ago), so I started wondering if I could run it alongside Spark and Jupyter on my little home cluster, which sports 5 Pi2 boards and a total of 20 CPU cores. I’ve been a Mathematica fan on and off throughout the years, and this week’s announcement of version 11 made me a little wistful, so I felt the need to kick the tires a bit on my Raspberry Pi (which can run a free license of version 10.3). 5 min read How To Run Mathematica on a 20-core Raspberry Pi Cluster.This rather completes our fruity announcements for the moment-from Apple to Blackberry to Raspberry Pi (though not as my daughter keeps calling it the Apple Pi). Really looking forward to seeing what the world's students (and their tinkering parents!) come up with with this new super-combo and how it can help to drive CBM forward. One further consequence: because Raspberry Pi is small and cheap enough to act as an embedded computer, we for the first time we have a quick-to-deploy yet full-power embedded solution. Yes, by modern desktop PC standards it can be a little clunky, but functionally it's all there-all the thousands of functions (even including my show-off special function HypergeometricPFQRegularized!). Others will follow.įourthly, it's simply amazing that Mathematica and Wolfram language can run on something as small and cheap as Raspberry Pi. This all complements Raspberry Pi and its goals very well and so it's nice that our first manifestation of Wolfram Language is there. And because Wolfram Language is multi-paradigm it's a great early language to learn because it avoids students getting into thinking of everything as best expressed in one structure or other. For years it's been lurking under the umbrella of Mathematica, a key aspect not only of our technology stack but the framework, even our symbolic way of thinking about structuring ideas. Thirdly, this is the first pass of the Wolfram language. One reason I was excited to be able to announce this today is because we've been hosted UNICEF's building for our summit and I think we'll have a great solution for maths, coding and CBM in developing countries. For $25 + some bits and pieces, you can be up and running. And you never know, politicians and policy-makers might even start to see the connection between coding, maths and fun-rather as I outlined in an earlier blogpost Attaching maths to something already enjoyable to make it better and more enjoyable I think will be very encouraging in learning more maths. Coders will be able to use the power of Mathematica's maths out of the box, not only enriching what they can do but also showing off the power and importance of maths. This really has at least 4-dimensions of consequence:įirstly, it's a unique way to excite students about maths by marrying it up with coding.
