  1. Beowulf Obsessions on Slashdot by suitcase · · Score: 4

    I, like most other readers of Slashdot, love cool shit. I love keeping up with the latest Linux port to ungodly small devices. This kinda stuff takes ingenuity, lotsa smarts, and is a testament to the flexability of Linux. But, please, this Beowulf fixation MUST go. Beowulf clusters are number crunchers for high intensity processing apps, not for retiring a crop of 386's, not for small devices, etc. Now if I had 500 Alphas gathering dust in my closet and was a little backlogged in my atomic research Beowulf would intrest me, but thats not happening. Please, somebody agree with me?
