Making use of hardware is much harder than owning it, especially when we speak about uniquely designed SBCs such as Parallella. Why? Because problems that can be solved best with parallel computing are hard...

# Finding mutual friends with OpenMPI MapReduce
Embedded devices such as RaspberryPI don't have enough power for running Hadoop jobs. It is a complex piece of software. Instead of trying to adapt it, I decided to use a more lightweight solution, this is OpenMPI map-reduce. MPI was designed for distributed computations, so why not run a map-reduce framework on it? Let's do it!
# Bilinear interpolation with nvidia CUDA C
The aim of this article is to get acquainted with bilinear interpolation technique and implement demo program which is going to scale given input image using nvidia CUDA SDK and SDL. The concept of interpolation is not explained here.
