I share your sentiment regarding Mosix. I don't think however, that clustering SBCs is of any value beyond the learning experience. Even a moderately powerful laptop is much faster than a *Pi, e.g. a 2013 Chromebook Pixel is about 16 times faster than a Banana Pi, when measured using `openssl speed`.

It depends when you're trying to do with them, but the network speed of the Pi is definitely a bottleneck for me. If it weren't for that, the throughput could definitely be used for some cool stuff even with modest CPU/RAM.

Neat video. What cool stuff would you use it for?
