[ILUG] cluster

[Dave Airlie]

Well hopefully U.L. Computer Society will be taking a donation of a
cluster of 30 (give or take some damage) machines, which was being used as
a Beowulf and which the society will re-use for this purpose, I'm sure the
person who works on setting them up here will have more information in the
future,

The main thing with beowulf is getting stuff to run on it, most standard
computing problems (i.e. getting netscape to run faster :-P) is not
directly applicable to it, whereas lots of Maths and Physics problems run
great on it .. but computer ppl no little or nothing about these problems
!!!

( of course cracking Word 97 passwords is totally parallelizable :-) eh
Caolan?)
