    Paraphrased from the FAQ on beowulf.org, a beowulf cluster is a "kind of high-performance massively parallel computer built primarily out of commodity hardware components, running a free-software operating system like Linux or FreeBSD, interconnected by a private high-speed network." These 32 processor machines are single machines, and not nodes connected by a network. Definitionally, these machines are not Beowulf clusters.
