I've got to confess a couple of sad facts:
1: I don't know what a Beowulf computer is
2: I haven't really quite finished my Comp Sci degree (I let the last couple
of points just hang there in hyperspace).
I need to confess these things because I am I am trying to finish it off
this semester (being the latter half of the tenth year since I began, and my
Uni is getting shirty, funny about that). I'm currently trying to find a
decent project for one of my final couple of subjects (an IT project unit,
maybe that is self evident). All bar one of the proposals that I have been
handed by the Uni involve Beowulfs (monitoring, some file system work for
linux) and all bar one of those involve Linux.
So what is a Beowulf? Why does everyone love them so much?
Emlyn, underqualified
