Low cost loosely coupled parallel processing system using standard processor

The experiment is to use low cost processors and integrate them to work in parallel. Along the way to achieve the objective, many fields of knowledge need to be studied. As in this project, knowledge of matrix operation and how it can be broken down for the purpose of parallel processing are studied...
