Looking for references on Beowulf performance for undergrad paper

[Laurence Liew]

hi,

Check out FLUENT (a CFD code) benchmarks at ....

http://www.fluent.com/software/fluent/fl5bench/fullres.htm

You will see near linear scalability (up to 32 CPUS at least)... but 
then FLUENT code is great for clusters (coarse-to-medium grain type 
problem)....

cheers!
