The Beowulf Project
In the summer of 1994 Thomas Sterling and Don Becker, working at CESDIS under the sponsorship of the
ESS project, built a cluster computer consisting of 16 DX4 processors connected by channel bonded
Ethernet. They called their machine Beowulf. The machine was an instant success and their idea of
providing COTS (Commodity off the shelf) base systems to satisfy specific computational requirements
quickly spread through NASA and into the academic and research communities. The development effort for
this first machine quickly grew into a what we now call the Beowulf Project. Some of the major accomplishment
of the Beowulf Project will be chronicled below, but a non-technical measure of success is the observation that
researcher within the High Performance Computer community are now referring to such machines as "Beowulf Class Cluster Computers."
That is, Beowulf clusters are now recognized as genre within the HPC community.
How to Build A Beowulf
This document is a guide to setting up and configuring a Beowulf class Supercomputer. It covers some aspects of architecture design,
but mainly looks at installation and configuration of the operating system. The HOWTO covers disk-less client configuration and shows
how to get Beowulf cluster up and running quickly. This HOWTO covers Red Hat Linux 5.2 and kernel 2.0.x.
Beowulf Underground
The Beowulf Underground is a site put together to meet the community's need for a central source
for software and information on Beowulf Computing. Time and time again we've all wished for
ONE place where we could go to find the newest MPI release or look for some new scripts to
make administration a little easier.

Linux International
Linux International is a non-profit organization, headquartered in the United States.
Linux International, however, is made up of many people contributing from all areas of the globe.
We distribute information about Linux, and how it will benefit business and personal users,
promote Linux at major computer expositions, and accept donations to distribute to programmers
who need money to test applications.
Linux Professional Institute
The Linux Professional Institute (LPI) believes in the need for a standardized,
multi-national, and respected program to certify levels of individual expertise in Linux.
This program must be able to satisfy the requirements of Linux professionals, as well as
organizations that would employ or contract them. The goal of LPI is to design and deliver
such a program from within the Linux community, using both volunteer and hired resources
as necessary. We resolve to undertake a well-considered, disciplined development process,
leading directly to the establishment of a recognized and widely endorsed Linux certification body.
Linux Standards Base
The goal of the Linux Standard Base (LSB) is to develop and promote a set of
standards that will increase compatibility among Linux distributions and enable
software applications to run on any compliant Linux system. In addition, the LSB
will help coordinate efforts to recruit software vendors to port and write products for Linux.
The Linux Guide
The Linux Guide is a handy glossary of Linux and Linux-related terms.
Slashdot
Slashdot is the premiere Linux news site. Learn about developments within the technology industry
from a decidedlysource perspective.
Be Open
Beis ansource community-development site.
It aims to build relationships between users and developers.
