About Beowulf
Beowulf, and Beowulf clustering are terms that describe a technique of connecting commodity computers together , using a modified version of Linux, to create a High Performance Computer. Started in 1993, by Donald Becker and Thomas Sterling, early development was sponsored by NASA. In 1997, Beowulf clusters broke the ten billion operations per second mark, and today can perform over 200 billion operations per second. Today, there are tens of thousands of Beowulf clusters installed in government, educational, and commercial facilities. Beowulf is a descriptive service mark held by Linux International.
