Beowulf Application Frameworks

[Owen Stampflee]

Hi All,

I am new comer to the Beowulf world and am building a small 5 node 
cluster using Macintosh LCIIs running NetBSD. The network consists of a 
10BASE-T shared-media. I dont expect much for performance but this is 
just for fun.

I am looking for some theory behind message passing and load balancing 
and general Beowulf application framework information. I intend to 
develop applications in C++ if that makes any difference.

Thanks,
Owen Stampflee
