We're seeing a lot of interest in this arena. Currently we're
building a 26 node Alpha Beowulf system for the government. 24 nodes
with 2 front-end systems. All 533 MHz with 256MB RAM. They will
be manipulating large data files, breaking them into smaller pieces to
send to each node, then assemling the final result on the front-end.
