Abstract: Highlights•Three 16 node clusters Single Board Computers (SBCs) have been benchmarked.•Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and Odroid C2 have been benchmarked•The Odroid C2 cluster has the best performance.•The Odroid C2 cluster provides the best value for money and power efficiency.•The clusters use the novel Pi Stack cluster construction technique.•The Pi Stack is developed specifically for edge compute scenarios.•These modern SBC clusters can perform meaningful compute tasks.
