page.My home network is way too large for a small house like mine.
Click here for an explanation of how I name my machines and what their names mean.

Four Crowned Martyrs: A Beowulf Cluster
I'm working on bringing up my own Beowulf cluster. Each node will be running RedHat Linux 6.0. I've not really decided exactly what my research interestes are for this cluster but right now I'm leaning toward experimentation with distributed Java applications as well as more traditional sorts of parallel applications -- in particular, running DEVS/C++ on MPI. For more information on Beowulf, check out http://www.beowulf.org.
Four Crowned Martyrs is connected with a D-Link DSS-8+ 100 MBit switch.
The cluster is not yet operational.

Network Topology
ZaftNet shows the effects of having been somewhat 'thrown together'. Fortunately it performs its tasks adequately.
