It's Clusterin' Time!

I bought a bunch of Turing Pi RK1 modules... then Turing Pi sent me some more!

I'm testing the RK1 32GB modules on my Turing Pi 2 SBC cluster board. We'll see if we can get them working, then have some fun once we do! Could be a while, so sit back, relax, and start your clusters!
