- Title
Beowulf Cluster — A Poor Man's Supercomputer.
- Authors
Rajaraman, V.
- Abstract
In this article, I describe the development of the Beowulf cluster, a parallel computer that consists of a network of off-the-shelf personal computers interconnected by Ethernet and uses Linux as its operating system. This style of building parallel computers has become very popular as fairly high-performance computers can be built in a university laboratory at a reasonable cost. Eighty percent of supercomputers listed in the TOP500 list of the fastest computers in the world are clusters.
