Abstract

With the growing power and shrinking cost of personal computers, the availability of fast ethernet interconnections, and public domain software packages, it is now possible to combine them to build desktop parallel computers at a fraction of what it would cost to buy systems of comparable power from supercomputer companies.

The Roots of Beowulf

The first Beowulf Linux commodity cluster was constructed at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in 1994 and its origins are a part of the folklore of high-end computing. In fact, the conditions within Goddard that brought the idea into being were shaped by rich historical roots, strategic pressures brought on by the ramp up of the Federal High-Performance Computing and Communications Program, growth of the open software movement, microprocessor performance trends, and the vision of key technologists. This multifaceted story is told here for the first time from the point of view of NASA project management.
