Beowulf Cluster in top 500 SuperComputers

Posted by CmdrTaco on Friday June 19, 1998 @05:43AM from the way-to-go dept.

Several people sent me a press release about the Avalon super computer. $150,000 worth of off the shelf parts, and it scored #315 on the top 500 Supercomputers list. Alpha chips and a Linux OS managed 19.2 billion floating point ops/sec. Very cool. Can santa fit these things down my chimney?
