[LI] low end Beowulf clusters



Hello,

The Khwarzimic Science Society has initiated a Beowulf-class Cluster
Computing Project which will be the first or the very pioneering kind of
project in Pakistan. Scarce resources have confined us to start with a 4
node network using Celeron 400 Mhz clusters and PIII fileserver, using
Red hat Linux 6.0. This cluster, which will be upgraded to 8 and then 16
nodes in the forthcoming couple of months, will cater for the intensive
and extensive computing needs of the science academia in Pakistan. Usage
will be open for members and affiliated Organisations, Institutes of the
Khwarzimic Science Society on a totally non-profit basis. Details can be
found at http://www.khwarzimic.org. The best part of the Project is that
we have made training and demonstration sessions over Beowulf an
essential ingredient of our Project, so that more and more people can
benefit from this burgeoning discipline and reap benefit from its usage.
These concomitant sessions have already been initiated by our lead
developers.

We are in need of the following:
1. an online archive and contact list of such low - end Beowulf clusters

2. people who can volunteer equipment, literature, books
3. any suggestions and proposals for collaborative work

Responses from low end Beowulf owners will be appreciated.
Thanks for your precious time.
