RE: [TCLUG:312] The Stone SouperComputer (fwd)



Hi Dad,

Actually not a joke, this short message is about a technology called
Beowulf-style cluster that uses smaller cheaper cpu's for big iron
computing.

Love,
Jeff

We are proud to announce that the Stone SouperComputer, the
Beowulf-style cluster built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with no
funding out of surplus 486 and 586/Pentium CPUs, has reached 126 nodes
and is currently running parallel splines of monthly temperatures across
the conterminous United States at a one square kilometer resolution in
preparation for our next big spatial clustering analysis.  For more
information, see http://www.esd.ornl.gov/facilities/beowulf
