This article talks about MacOS’ support for “MPI”. I have a few MacBooks sitting in a drawer from different eras. Is there something interesting I can do with them? Something less research and more selfhosting-y?
What is being self-hosting? I haven’t seen MPI used outside of software running on a compute cluster.
One of the points of the cluster was to celebrate Apple’s founding, and the bundled MPI library just let them run an existing workload without switching the OS to Linux.

Possibly, I’m not sure how well old MacBooks dissipate heat without the top being open.
Aside from that, get a Ethernet adapter and installing Linux is the place to start. 🙂
Ummmm. The point is to use MacOS’ version of MPI which this article talks about.
That said, yeah those are Intel Macs. Would do well with Linux.
