I am tossing around the idea of a cheap beowulf cluster...junked PCs etc.
I think some of the beowulf stuff is already available?
from what I remember Beowulf uses PVM, and that is already packaged.
They basically seemed when I read their pages to be makeing "add ons" which
make PVM more powerfull
(Like a cool way to bind 2 (or more) ethernet segments together into 1 much
faster segment - of course every machine on the segment needs 2 cards...but..
it look sway cool)
hmmm is anyone working on these "add ons"? ....ifenslave is really cool
looking...
