Building a 160‑Core M.2 Supercluster
- The creator upgraded from a 256‑core, four‑layer PCB with cramped surface‑mount pin headers to a 160‑core RISC‑V supercluster built around modular M.2‑style edge connectors, drastically reducing board size to 22 × 26 mm.
- By stacking ten vertical M.2 slots, each hosting its own MCU module, the design achieved dense routing of power, I/O, and PCIe lanes while keeping within standard PCB manufacturing constraints.
