Beowulf, doing supercomputing with a pile of PCs

Beowuf is an architectural model of cheap supercomputing, based on GNU/Linux and other free software comodities. It was proposed by researchers of the Center of Excellence in Space Data. Originaly, it only needs common hardware, but it works better with non-ethernet network solutions, because with an ethernet network cann't scale more that 16 processors.
