The RPiCluster is a 33 node Beowulf cluster built using Raspberry Pis (RPis) [...] Each of the 33 RPi is overclocked to 1GHz and is running Arch Linux. This demo shows the RPiCluster running a parallel program [..] to control all of the RGB LEDs installed on each of the nodes.

Update: While the BeagleBone Black was not available when I started this project, I would have chosen it rather than the Raspberry Pi had it been available. It is the same cost once you include an SD card, but it has onboard 2GB of flash storage for the operating system. It also uses a Cortex-A8 ARM processor running at 1GHz.
