abstract = {In late 2017, Hardkernel released the ODROID-MC1 cluster
system, which is based on the ODROID-XU4 single-board
computer. The cluster consists of four nodes, each equipped
with a Samsung Exynos 5 Octa (5422) CPU. The system promises
high computational power under low energy consumption. In
this paper, the applicability of such a systems to
scientific problems is investigated. Therefore, flow
computations using a lattice-Boltzmann method are employed
to evaluate the single core, single node, and multi-node
performance and scalability of the cluster. The
lattice-Boltzmann code is part of a larger simulation
framework and scales well across several high-performance
computers. Performance measurement results are juxtaposed to
those obtained on high-performance computers and show that
the ODROID-MC1 can indeed compete with high-class server
CPUs. Energy measurements corroborate the ODROID’s energy
efficiency. Its drawbacks result from the limited amount of
available memory, the corresponding memory bandwidth, and
the low-performing Cortex A7 cores of the big.LITTLE
architecture. The applicability to scientific applications
is shown by a three-dimensional simulation of the flow in a
slot burner configuration.},
