Explaination for the hard of thinking.


A beowulf system is a lot of computers, ohhh loads and loads actually, all stuck together with wires 'n' stuff. Each computer on it's own is weak and rubbish, but when they all hold hands together they are big and strong. All together they make like one great big computer. But a computer with a very big brain indeed. All the little computers are loaded with special magic software called Unix and work very very fast doing sums.

Even though the little PC's are all cheap and the unix software is free (remember it's magic software) together they are more brainy that the biggest, hugest and most gynormous computer in the whole wild world. And they all lived happily ever after.

The End
