Very well written and a good part of what I was looking for. However, there is no connection between the first portion on supercomputing and the rest of the book on scientific programming I would have like to see some examples of the use of the mini-supercomputer.I do recommend this book and will be trying some of his others.

Has some good information
I was looking for a little more on clustering. The information is good, but there is a lot of cut and paste from the library websites.

Don't waste your money
There's a lot wrong here.First you'll have to plow through 50% of the book before beginning to even scratch the surface of the subject of supercomputing. The first half is a benal regurgitation of every other intro to Raspberry Pi book you've ever read. Seems out of place here. One gets the impression that the first half serves largely to add girth rather than substance. The overall exposition is tedious.Once the text gets around to the subject of parallel computing and MPI interfacing it 's mostly more regurgitation.You get the picture.You'll be better served by the numerous YouTube videos out there. Trust me.Mr. Panjankar begins by recounting how he got a C at university in his data course. One can only surmise that that grade was generous. He also refers to himself as a polymath and perhaps most annoyingly of all - plasters his name and copyright all over the place. I little more humility and a little less paranoia might be in order.Oh and a refund would be great.
