RPI

Troy technical university

RPI stands for Raspberry Pi, a line of small, inexpensive single-board computers used for education, hobbyist projects, and embedded systems: I set up an RPI as a home media server.

RPI also abbreviates Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, a private research university in New York, and Retail Price Index, a British measure of inflation.
