Two days ago, the Turing Pi 2 made its debut on Kickstarter and within that time frame, the campaign raised over $1.13-million USD. Essentially, the Turing Pi 2 is a 4-node mini ITX cluster board with a built-in Ethernet switch that runs NVIDIA Jetson or Raspberry Pi CM4 compute modules in any combination. Think of it as a data center server rack, but more compact, silent, and far more energy-efficient.
If you need a system for general-purpose computing, I would suggest installing either a Raspberry Pi CM4 or Turing RK1 compute module. While the NVIDIA Jetson is best used for machine learning tasks, its two mini PCI-e ports allow for the use of 3rd party extension boards, which can be used to add new hardware features, interfaces, sensors, interface converters, wireless modules, or even a cellular modem.
If you're interested, reserve one now on Kickstarter for $219 USD. Alternatively, you can install a Raspberry Pi module for the RUHAcam, a 3D-printed digital camera.
