>At Geneva Observatory we use a 92 processors Beowulf ("Gravitor I") to
>run computing intensive simulations of galaxies and other astrophysical
>problems.  The cluster has 66 nodes (2 masters) all with 1 or 2 Pentium II 
>400,
>at least 256MB memory, and a dual Asus board.  The network is Fast Ethernet
>with a single Foundry 72 port switch (Fast Iron II).
>
>We use it either as a CPU server for numerous serial jobs, or as parallel
>computer with MPI or PVM.  The near uniformity of the nodes and the network
>is an important feature making the cluster adaptive to the varying needs
>but also for administration.
>
>It runs Linux 2.2.7.
