Building an HPC Linux cluster has gotten simpler, Beowulf leader says

,----[ Quote ]
| Donald Becker, an MIT grad who in the 1990s pioneered high-performance
| computing (HPC) with commodity components, returned to his alma mater
| recently to update the Boston Linux & Unix User Group (BLU) on the state of
| HPC and his work to make Linux clusters more powerful, more user-friendly and
| easier to manage.
|
| Now Becker is the CTO of Scyld Software and its parent company, Penguin
| Computing Inc.. In 1994, he helped launch NASA's Beowulf Project which
| demonstrated that $50,000 of commodity hardware, clustered together, could
| equal the performance of a $1 million Cray supercomputer. For his work, he
| received the Gordon Bell Prize from the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and
| Electronics Engineers Inc.) Computer Society in 1997.
