Building a Beowulf

[Regulus]

Don't mind me asking, lazerman, but what is a Beowulf?

Yes I really like this folding Idea... I think it will be the cause I/we strive for.

Glad to hear it

halo: Don't mind me asking, lazerman, but what is a Beowulf?

A network of relatively inexpensive computers (including PCs), potentially using different processors and hardware architectures, united by GNU/Linux and special system-level software into a massively parallel computing system, so that all of the computers work as one computer. A good cheap way to have a supercomputer

lazerman,

We can work on infinite monkey theorem

i could run a p166 mmx 96mb ram with no cdrom, and run it 24hrs a day. I have the facities to do that.

Don't know if it would be allowed but you guys could start a folding team of your own and run the program on your computers. It adds a little competition to help drive interest. Just a thought. If you don't want a team or care about points you could always use my user name and team

Josh18657,

Hey, iam impressed at this F@H , ive heard of it ,but never used it. Now i downloaded this software for linux , and its asking for a 'team number' .. what shld i give in that?

 

[Josh18657]

there are a few options for this, leave it at 0, this will not put your points towards any team, set up a team for these forums and enter that # or you can put the number of a team already set up. The team I am on is team 13285 (team ABIT).

here is a link to the form to start a new team
