Here, the results show that there was a significant performance boost in the way M/RPi handles linear systems: I presume there were some bug fixes and re-ran some of the benchmarks. There was an update to the wolfram engine on the Raspberry Pi in late January.

There is clearly a benefit to considering Cloud-based evaluation when designing Wolfram/RPi projects, but one must cognizant of CloudCredit bookkeeping. Performing these tasks on the Cloud cost me 11 credits. (This does not include the one-time 1-2 minute interaction with a terribly sluggish interface that logs you in to your Cloud account.)

The interesting data are those marked "Absolute", which includes the network overhead and is a better comparison to running on the RPi than "Cloud" is. I have a sudden urge to dust off my Algol and Cobol handbooks. Putting the Wolfram Language (and Mathematica) on Every Raspberry Pi at Stephen Wolfram’s blog.The Jversion of Mathematica brings to the RPi the ability to evaluate expressions on the cloud, in other words, to cheat at benchmarking!Īs an added bonus, we have a default retro color scheme for BarCharts that is sure to please fans of the 70s. I have also tried out some of these examples posted on the Raspberry Pi forums.Īlthough not fast in its current release (on my Pi I found it a bit too slow currently to be really very usable), it is working and is great to have it as a free resource. It takes a while to start up (about 5 minutes on my Pi) and then you are in. I’ve not had much chance yet to try it out yet, not being a regular Mathematica user, but here’s a video of someone else trying it out: Mathematica will have installed in the app launcher under the Education menu (just above Scratch and Squeak). This is launched from the command prompt with startx. You’ll find Mathematica in the graphical user interface (GUI) desktop environment. Sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get install wolfram-engine I have Mathematica up and running on my Raspberry Pi, having followed the instructions on the Raspberry Pi site future Raspbian images will ship with the Wolfram Language and Mathematica by default.Įxisting users with at least 600MB of free space on their SD card can install them today by typing Wolfram have released a version of Mathematica and the new Wolfram Language to run on the low-cost Raspberry Pi computer, and both are free.
