Hello, Mike.
Sorry for the delay in my reply: Our external spam filter blocked your
message, and I've only just read it. To cut a long story short, I accept
that you were not calling people like me naive or stupid. However, a lot
of people reading this list build and manage their own small clusters.
I think it's important for everyone to remember that the fundamental
idea of a Beowulf is that it is scalable to the size of the problem you
want to solve. To me it also represents the democratisation of HPC in
much the same way that PC's democratised access to computing generally.
Best wishes,
Tony.
