#2Any idea what the price on a fully populated board will be? I'm having trouble finding it on the website.

"We are more than excited to announce the launch of the Turing Pi 2 on Kickstarter on May 11, 2022, 9 AM PT. The board price tag starts at $199 for super early birds, plus $10 for each Raspberry Pi compute module adapter. Become the first to start utilizing the immense potential of the Turing Pi 2. Hop down a rabbit hole of the self-hosted revolution."

Depends heavily on what you want to populate it with. The existing alternative to this on the market today is this board: https://www.seeedstudio.com/Jetson-Mate-Cluster-Advanced-wit... which appears to run at ~USD2,200 when fully populated with the most expensive modules available.

"plus $10 for each Raspberry Pi compute module adapter." which I assume means you are also on the hook for finding and paying for however many Compute Modules you want to populate this board with.

#7The idea of setting up my own cluster seems really cool, but it always seems that I'm paying more money for less compute vs. just buying a single more powerful computer. I suppose this is worth it for people who'd like to physically own a cluster where they can test their cluster code with a real network layer before deploying that code to a data center?
The MSRP for Nvidia's Jetson Xavier NX 16GB module is USD500. So 4 Xaviers + board is USD2200 for a combined 64GB of LPDDR4 memory and 84TOPs of Compute.
On the other hand, I can buy an Nvidia RTX3080 with 10GB of memory on the card and 238 INT8 TOPS for ~USD1000, 64GB of DDR4 for USD250 and the last USD1000 on whatever other parts I need to get something working.
The only counterexample I can think of is that the cluster could potentially be easier to upgrade/purchase in pieces, which would be more ideal if you're broke and would like to get started on a budget. And of course, there are probably some use cases where the topology of the Jetson Cluster leverages its hardware more effectively than the single GPU.
Can someone help this make sense for me?

#8Hehe excellent to see they’re working on a software platform for self-hosted software. We’re probably their only competitor with our PiBox hardware (https://pibox.io) and software (https://KubeSail.com).
It’s fantastic to see another company try to put together the full self-hosting vision into a product. It’s a strange emotion to work on something for 3 years and then see a competitor finally emerge! Best of luck and I’ll be buying one asap…

#9Looks really cool! Especially interested in their own RK3588 SBC.
But is this low-power / small scale clustering really worth it? I run my stuff at home on a rpi4+ssd via usb and it works well enough. On the software side I just use Docker compose with prebuilt images and manifests for most stuff. Sure, when I upgrade the distro and reboot I have some downtime, but so what?
If I were to upgrade I would go for some mini x86 pc just for some extra horsepower and better connection for the ssd.
Doing a whole hardware cluster would be cool and fun, but probably not useful, especially for those matching this description:
> Additionally to that, you would need skills in server and network administration to set up Linux, and software such as Kubernetes and constantly manage the infrastructure running your applications. Sounds complicated? Well, there is another solution which is called Turing Pi 2.
