Do you have an unused Raspberry Pi board locked away in a cupboard? Please donate it for scientific research.
</p>
<p>
We are investigating networked single-board computers (like Rasberry Pi devices) for micro-datacenters and federated micro-clusters. Currently, we have around 1000 Raspberry Pis at various UK university sites (<a href="http://www.cam.ac.uk">Cambridge</a>, <a href="http://www.gla.ac.uk">Glasgow</a>, <a href="http://www.lboro.ac.uk">Loughborough</a> and <a href="http://www.southampton.ac.uk">Southampton</a>). We want to scale up this number, to build a distributed UK-wide testbed for system experiments.
</p>
<h2 class="content-subhead" id="groovyhead"><a name="how"></a>How to picycle?</h2>
<p>
If you are in the UK (see the <a href="#faq-international">FAQ</a> for international posting):
</p>
<p>
<span id="groovyhead">(1)</span> Put your Raspberry Pi back into its original box. If you do not have a box, wrap it in an antistatic bag or a sheet of paper.
</p>
<p>
<span id="groovyhead">(2)</span> Put your packaged pi into a Jiffy bag.
</p>
<p>
<span id="groovyhead">(3)</span> Address the parcel <span id="groovytext">FREEPOST PICYCLE</span>. No stamp needed!
</p>
<p>
<span id="groovyhead">(PI)</span> Optionally, include a note with:
<ul>
<li>your email address, if you want acknowledgement when we receive your donation.
<li>your full name, if you want to be listed on our Wall of Fame.
</ul>
<p>
<span id="groovyhead">(4)</span> Drop your parcel in a Royal Mail post box in the UK.
</p>
<h2 class="content-subhead" id="groovyhead"><a name="objectives"></a>Objectives</h2>
<p>
We aim to set the <a href="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/">Guinness World Record</a> for the <em>Largest Raspberry Pi
Cluster</em>. We believe this record is currently held by the <a href="http://www.lanl.gov/discover/news-release-archive/2017/November/1113-raspberry-pi.php">Los Alamos Labs</a> 750-node cluster.
</p>
<p>
We also want to break into one of the energy-efficient supercomputing league tables, perhaps <a href="https://www.top500.org/green500/list/2016/11/">Green500</a> or <a href="http://green.graph500.org/">GreenGraph500</a>.
</p>
<p>
Finally, we see Raspberry Pi based federated clusters as a means of tackling computational inequality across the world. We support social enterprises with <a href="http://n4luk.org/">Networks4Learning</a> and educational outreach initiatives like <a href="https://pwsafrica.org/">PWS Africa</a>, deploying Raspberry Pi solutions in Africa. We are using Raspberry Pi to support social networking in rural Amazon communities. Further, we want to use our cluster devices to support <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Data4Good?src=hash">#dataforgood</a> initiatives, providing light-weight, low-power compute devices for big data processing in life-saving scenarios.
</p>
<h2 class="content-subhead" id="groovyhead"><a name="faq"></a>FAQ</h2>
<h4>Shall I send you my SD card as well?</h4>
<p>
Thanks. We happily accept Raspberry Pi boards with working SD cards still inserted. Note that we will blank the SD card and write our own image to it.
</p>
<h4>My Pi is broken. Do you still want it?</h4>
<p>
Sorry. If you have fried your Pi then it is no use to us. We recommend you dispose of it <a href="https://www.gov.uk/recycling-collections">responsibly</a>.
</p>
<h4>How do I donate several Raspberry Pi devices at once?</h4>
<p>
Brilliant! Thanks for your generosity. If the devices will fit into a single parcel weighing less than 1kg then please post the parcel to <span id="groovytext">FREEPOST PICYCLE</span>. For larger consignments, please <a href="contact.html">contact us</a> directly to arrange pickup.
</p>
<h4><a name="faq-international"></a>I live outside the UK. Can I send you my Raspberry Pi?</h4>
<p>
We welcome international donors. However you will have to pay international postage rates, which could be expensive. Please address your parcel to:
<table class="pure-table">
<tbody>
<tr><td><span id="groovytext">PICYCLE</span></td></tr>
<tr><td>University of Glasgow</td></tr>
<tr><td>G12 8QQ</td></tr>
<tr><td>UK</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
and post via your local mail service.
</p>
<h4>Do you want power adapters for the Raspberry Pi, or other cables?</h4>
<p>
We are building <a href="http://www.sicsa.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/glasgow-raspberry-pi-cloud1.jpg">custom racks</a> for our Raspberry Pi clusters, so we do not
require mains power adapters. Save these power adapters for your other devices at home. USB A-Male to Micro B cables would be welcome however.
</p>
<h4>Which models of Raspberry Pi can I donate?</h4>
<p>
We accept all models of Raspberry Pi. Our current collection is highly heterogeneous.
</p>
<h4>Do you accept other Single-Board Computers apart from Raspberry Pi?</h4>
<p>
Yes please. We welcome donations of clones like Banana Pi, also BeagleBone boards. If you have anything particularly exotic, please <a href="contact.html">contact</a> us to check whether it is a suitable donation.
