Actually it was a single small cabinet with 486 processor motherboards and 10Mbit Ethernet with a hub. There is a small picture of it on the SC14 Beowulf Bash invite (in the middle) As I recall we could only find an old small picture of it. https://www.clustermonkey.net/Supercomputing/beowulf-bash-invitations-2008-to-present.html From there all kinds of configurations appeared. Including mostly "workstations" on wire shelves (the differentiation between "desktop" and "server" was just starting with the introduction of the Pentium-Pro) For those interested in the Beowulf history you can watch the short video (fully shareable BTW, sponsored by AMD) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-epcSlAFvI -- Doug > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > https://beowulf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > -- Doug _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit https://beowulf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
