Posted by timothy on from the tender-years-of-rampage dept.

Quirk writes "Wired News has a blurb celebrating the 10th birthday of the Beowulf cluster. Attendees recalled the initial fear and loathing the Beowulf project had to overcome. The Beowulf project takes its name from an epic poem penned circa 1000 A.D."

    This article is mentions Beowulf clusters in the title. I hardly see how parent post is either offtopic or flamebait.
