Their paper says: http://egscbeowulf.er.usgs.gov/geninfo/Beowulf-ICPP95.pdf # The Beowulf prototype employs 100 MHz Intel DX4 microprocessors # and a 500 MByte disk drive per processor. [...] # The DX4 delivers greater computational power than other members # of the 486 family not only from its higher clock speed, but also # from its 16 KByte primary cache (twice the size of other 486 # primary caches) 6]. Each motherboard also contains a 256 KByte # secondary cache. cheers!
