> In terms of price, speed and compatibility the Raspberry Pi looks laughable.

Just for kicks, some reference:

Assuming the Gflops numbers are roughly comparable, ~50 Gflops would have you competing for the #1 spot in the first TOP500 list, June 1993:

Which came equipped with 1,024 SuperSPARCs @ 32 MHz:

Even ~2000, that might still have squeezed you into the bottom of the list? Note that power consumption of above system will have been in the 10s if not 100s of kW. To say nothing of size or purchase price.

That's only 1 human generation ago. What on Earth are you doing with these things? Running physics simulations of nuclear explosions, or what?
