32 + 8 nodes beowulf cluster design.

[Paul Maragakis]

Hi everyone,

I have just drafted a proposal listing the hardware components and their  
prices for a 40 nodes beowulf using 1.2 GHz Athlons, 8*1.5 GB + 32*512 MB
memory, a double fast-ethernet network, and a front-end for storage and
administration.  The draft is at:
http://hdsc.deas.harvard.edu/~plm/beowulf.pdf
All comments are highly appreciated, especially those regarding the
network, the UPS and the price estimates.  

Take care,

Paul
