I'm planning to make a small-scale beowulf-style supercomputer
(for those of you who are ignorant of these: they use multiple off-the-shelf PC's and linux to achieve massively parellell processing without the restrictive price of Big-Iron supercomputers)
Does anyone have advice or comments about this?
There are a lot of questions about why I want this:
1:Just for the heck of it
2:For later expansion to something that can handle complete molecular mapping of complex objects, and subsequent commpression and manipulation of that data.
3:I could perhaps sell proccessing time on it.
