Networks of Workstations (Clusters)

Networks of workstations (NOWs) are widely available particularly in academia, performing at or near a suprecomputing level but at a fraction of the cost of those larger machines. Here are few examples:

• The Berkeley NOW Project (in collaboration with SUN, Intel, and HP).

• Avalon at LANL.

• MIT Xolas Project (in collaboration with SUN).

• MIT Paleiades (in collaboration with DEC).
