ARM yourselves! The Compute Blade is here.

It won't turn you into a ninja, but it will help you build a Pi cluster.

Check out the Compute Blade on Kickstarter:

As a datacenter operator -> This blade format is amazing, we are getting close to commercial viability to offer RPis as dedis.

I've been eagerly awaiting hearing about this again. Also, feels good to see Jeff back at home healthy making videos. Good to have you back my guy.

Ivan is a model for me. He shares A LOT on twitter and I hope he gets a lot of backers not only because he is a nice guy but because it's worth it too :)

I've said it before and I'll say it again. A rack of these (or something like them) would be fantastic in a classroom. Each student gets access to their own over the network and any work they do on it lives in isolation from the others.

I adapted Ivan's 3D printable Raspberry Pi cluster for my mini 3-Pi CI cluster. I'm pleased he still innovating in the field. This one looks sweet.

Love the thumbnail 😁
And yes, the Compute Blades are really cool, makes me wish I had a use case for them

[ZaneBlalock]

24 Seconds in and I'm reminded to why I freaking love Jeff 😂 - comedy, wholesomeness, tech, and genuineness. Jeff, you're the whole package man! Much love!

"Jeff's On!" - And it's not even my birthday!!! 🙂 - Cheers! - Judson & Buddy !!!

This module definitely looks like a new blade standard. Fantastic!

[Daggenthal]

LMAO What the hell is that thumbnail?! Hahaha, 10/10 on it bro I love it so much.

Edit: Oh my gosh, it just hit me that you mocked it over Blade from the movies, aptly named Blade

[ScandinavianHeretic]

Man, these things are just so cool. I have this wet dream on using cephfs and docker swarm on these to create my own cloud for my gaming community / close friends so that we can finally have a proper shared platform where we can hang out and help each other with things in life. So cool...

[TheNumbersPerson]

These look like a ton of fun for a home lab if the CM availability improves like we're hoping. Even with the relatively high cost it seems like a great way to learn and play around with a lot of concepts.

[michaelreed]

So happy you seem to be bouncing back well! AND of course for pairing up with Ivan to get even more news about this amazing #ComputeBlade out to the masses!
As always, thanks so much for what you do - and can't WAIT to get me some of these!!!

[MarcoGPUtuber]

With so many blades, this video is sharp!

[marcogenovesi]

I would not worry that much about the heatsink machining, those seem to be die castings (note the rough surface everywhere, if they were machined they would be smooth) so it's probably affordable enough for mass production.

[SeanHodgins]

This looks awesome. I shelved a blade style project awhile back because of these, so Ill have a pick a couple up. I have 5 CM4s that have been sitting in a drawer for a few years just waiting to be used.

[jceggbert]

That physical security on the TPM is amazing

[TechnoTim]

Great video Jeff! I've been following Ivan's journey on Twitter and this video brings it all together!

[HardwareHaven]

Your thumbnail game is insane... haha

Great video as well! Can't wait to see what all you do with these while I struggle to keep up with what's going on 😂

[StevenIngram]

These blade modules remind of "isolinear chips" on Star Trek: TNG. They were smaller than these, but the shape is very similar. :)
