Beowulf集群是一种MIMD多处理器，由通过专用网络连接的现成个人计算机构建而成，运行免费的开源软件。这样的集群可以以超级计算机成本的一小部分提供超级计算机的性能。对于小型学院和大学来说，Beowulf集群相对较低的成本使其成为商业超级计算机的一个有吸引力的替代品。本文详细介绍了我们在四年制综合性大学构建贝奥武夫集群的经验。
A Beowulf cluster is a MIMD multiprocessor built from commodity off-the-shelf personal computers connected via a dedicated network, running free open-source software. Such a cluster can provide a supercomputer's performance at a small fraction of one's cost. For small colleges and universities, the relatively low cost of a Beowulf cluster makes it an attractive alternative to a commercial supercomputer. This paper details our experience building a Beowulf cluster at a four-year comprehensive college.
