Abstract
The introduction of the Raspberry Pi 2 has ushered in exciting new opportunities. No longer is the software limited to one CPU core, but now executes on four. Memory has been doubled to 1 GB, providing a larger disk cache and resulting in better SD card performance. This also leaves room for larger applications. Having four built-in USB ports is also helpful in avoiding the need for a USB hub.
