That’s exactly what one YouTuber recently did and the end result is quite rad.

Last year, bitluni assembled aRISC-V superclusterconsisting of 16 CH32V003 microcontrollers.

bitluni teased that the supercluster modules might be tileable.

Indeed, they are.

The latest build involves combining 16 superclusters together to create a megacluster.

A time-lapse showcases the precise and tedious nature of the build.

LEDs were added to the superclusters although without an external clock source, they quickly get out of sync.

Even as a jumbled mess, the light show still looks very cool.

Personally, I am more into the hardware side of things.

There are also 640 GPIO pins and 256 analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) circuits.

The recently auctioned Cheyenne supercomputer, for comparison, packs 8,064 Intel Xeon CPUs, and fetched$480,000.
