Who am I?

My name is Nicola Busetto, a computer scientist and I like to make things working well.

Words matter to me (especially those given as a commitment) but I believe facts matter more.

I invent, design, create and maintain customized software with method and passion.

Over 25 years of experience of mine can be guessed (also) from the color of my beard and hair.

I'm also a yoga teacher.

The Pi's Network

What you can see here above is an example about how my 11 (yes, eleven!) Raspberry Pi's have been stacked in open plexiglas structures.
On each level there's one Rpi board and one fan, working at 3.3V so the speed is reduced and there's no audible noise.

Power is supplied by two Aukey 60W 6 USB port in order to provide up to 3A current to each board plus an official Raspberry Power Supply solely for the model 5.

My Pi's Network is made of 11 boards as follows:

• 1 Pi Model 0W
• 2 Pi Model 0W2
• 1 Pi Model 1B
• 1 Pi Model 2B
• 2 Pi Model 3B
• 2 Pi Model 3B+
• 1 Pi Model 4B
• 1 Pi Model 5

Distributed Computing

Each RaspberryPi board in my Network is proudly partecipating in distributed scientific computing jobs within BOINC, a project by The University of California - Berkeley.

• Einstein@home
  Searching for weak astrophysical signals from pulsar stars
  
• Universe@home
  Investigating the Universe and Black Holes (unfortunately this project was declared closed on Nov.2024)
• Asteroids@home
  Knowledge of physical properties of asteroids
  
• World Community Grid
  Research for COVID-19, Rainfall Forecast for Sahara, Gut Microbiome, Cancer Detection and more
