beowulf




There is an interesting article about Beowulf in the
March 27 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education
on page A32. Beowulf converts a group of PCs into an
inexpensive supercomputer. It was developed by NASA
and is free at http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/beowulf.

Guess what, it runs under Linux. I think the article
could be a useful tool in convincing university
administrators that they should be hiring Linux experts
as system administrators. Pass it on to your Dean.
