When: May 17, 2000 7:00 p.m. (6:30PM Q&A) Topic: Supercomputing with Beowulf Clusters Presented by: Kurt Keville ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Location: MIT Building 3-133 Beowulf is a cluster computers running an OS like Linux or FreeBSD interconnected on a high speed network. Instead of a single supercomuter trying to run very fast, computing is shared among the computers in the cluster using a technique known as massively parallel. Beowulf clusters can be implemented using low cost PC technology providing scientists supercomputing power for thousands rather than millions of dollars. Kurt is revisiting the Beowulf lecture he presented at MIT in January. Here are some related links: Kurt's home page:http://web.mit.edu/kkeville/www/ Beowulf Project at CESDIS:http://www.beowulf.org/ Good background on Beowulf.
