KRXY Cluster Expansion — Raspberry Pi 5 16GB and Cooling Hardware

A published image from the KRXY research record.

Raspberry Pi 5 16GB retail box stacked on an aluminium alloy cooling case box, with an existing Raspberry Pi node and connected external USB devices visible in the background.

Preparing for the next stage of KRXY's decentralised AI research with the arrival of additional Raspberry Pi 5 16GB hardware and cooling equipment. The photograph shows a newly acquired Raspberry Pi 5 alongside an aluminium alloy cooling solution, with part of the existing experimental node infrastructure visible in the background. As KRXY expands beyond its initial Raspberry Pi nodes, additional hardware will enable more extensive experiments involving distributed large language model inference, multi-node workload coordination, thermal management and network scalability. This milestone documents the acquisition and preparation of new computing resources as KRXY works towards its longer-term goal of a ten-node Raspberry Pi research cluster, designed to investigate the performance, limitations and potential of decentralised AI on affordable edge hardware.
