Use of Beowulf clusters (collections of off-the-shelf commodity computers programmed to act in concert, resulting in supercomputer performance at a fraction of the cost) has spread far and wide in the computational science community. Many application groups are assembling and operating their own "pr

Beowulf clusters, which exploit mass-market PC hardware and software in conjunction with cost-effective commercial network technology, are becoming the platform for many scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. With growing popularity has come growing complexity. Addressing that complex
This IBM Redbook will guide system architects and systems engineers toward an understanding of cluster technology based on the IBM 1350 Linux Cluster that combines IBM xSeries rack-optimized servers running the Linux operating system.
## Abstract In this communication, we investigate the efficiency of a parallel BORβFDTD code on a commonly used Beowulf cluster which is connected via an Ethernet or Myrinet networking system. The efficiency of a parallel BORβFDTD code is relatively high since it only requires data exchanging betwe
