Low-Cost Computing Using Raspberry Pi 2 Model B

A low-cost computing environment using Raspberry Pi based systems is very efficient to use as a proposed computing system in libraries and classrooms of schools in the developing countries such as Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Kiribati, Myanmar, Tuvalu, Vietnam and Zimbabwe where money is always a constraint. This paper presents the results of an experimental set up of the low-cost computing environment using Raspberry Pi 2 (Model B), a cost-benefit analysis and a discussion of findings in addition to a literature review about Raspberry Pi and a methodology that is applied.
