>Here at University of Montana, we use a 9-node cluster of
>Linux 100 MHz Pentiums (64 MB RAM, 128 MB RAM on server)
>connected via 100TX Ethernet.
>
>Purposes of the cluster include extensive education and
>training activities, along with code development.  Through
>collaboration with U. Alaska's Arctic Region Supercomputing
>Center, we try to create a low-cost environment in which
>students and researchers can learn parallel computing
>approaches (PVM, MPI, PGHPF) and have their experiences
>directly applicable to the environment in supercomputing
>centers.  Likewise, I'm continuing work in parallel adaptive
>finite element methods, and parallelization of arctic
>ecosystem models, doing much of the development on the
>Linux cluster, then moving the code to the T3E for large-scale
>runs and testing.
>
>We maintain the premise that Beowulf systems and large-scale
>supercomputers can co-exist and, indeed, complement each other.
