How is a Beowulf different than a commercial parallel computer?
You can buy a complete Beowulf from Aspen Systems, Microway, Penguin Computing, et. al.
Examples of commercial parallel systems:
- IBM SP2 & IBM SP3 (Power 2&3)
- Cray T3E (Alpha 21164)
Custom nodes
Custom network infrastructure
Really cool cabinets
