I am wanting to have/ or make a program that runs on a (raspberry pi)computer cluster with one pi executing only video content while the other only handles music, etc under a main program like an AI. Am I in the right direction? Isnt this parallel computing?

- BTW, probably a single cheap PC running Linux could be more powerful than 2 Raspberry Pis– Basile StarynkevitchCommentedMar 11, 2016 at 8:03
- In what aspect though? From what I have learned, a cluster would be better for distributed tasks compared to an emulation on a computer. Right? Thanks for the response– Chris ManningCommentedMar 14, 2016 at 1:50

You seem a bit confused about what parallel computing is. Parallel computing is about farming out parts of a computationally intensive task to multiple workers. One type of parallel computing is distributed computing; an example would be a brute-force attempt to crack cryptography, where each node tries a few keys at a time, until one of them gets lucky and finds a working key.
If you have two computers performing two different tasks, then that's just two computers performing different tasks.
You haven't told us what the main program does, but I suspect that it has nothing to do with artificial intelligence.
