“Hi there. This is a bit of documentation on how to put together
a very low cost and extremely compact beowulf cluster. We needed a
beast like that for one of our internal pet research projects, so
we decided to see how cheap and how compact we could make the
thing. The total material bill came to $US 4150, for that you get a
10 node 600 MHz PIII 128 MB ram per node cluster. (Prices April
2000). They all boot of their own floppy disk. Each machine is
hooked up to the net using a 100 Mbit ethernet card.”
