Today begin my experiment with building a Beowulf cluster. A Beowulf cluster is a group of MCOTS (Mass Market Commodity-Off-The-Shelf) PCs, computers that are made premade for the public, they are then linked together over a network and a head computer pieces off a program to the other computer, or nodes, in the cluster and they speed up the computation of the program. A Beowulf cluster is a super computer for a fraction of the cost. I am working on building one now.
