      I know some departments which have multiple pis which are used in parallel as a sort of super-pi machine. I think they use it for some simple data processing, so they might be involved in new discoveries at some point. However their low clock speed is not suited to Scientific research on large scales.

      Hey Matt – I think Raspberry Pis can help us analyse really important information in a cheap and quick way. These days that’s almost as important as getting the information itself!
