Name: Beowulf Project
Website: http://www.beowulf.org/
Contact: merk@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
Description: Beowulf is a project to produce the software for off-the-shelf clustered
workstations based on commodity PC-class hardware, a high-bandwidth
internal network, and the Linux operating system.

Name: Beowulf Project at CSULB
Website: http://cluster.cecs.csulb.edu/
Contact: mmccullo@engr.csulb.edu
Description: A Proposal to Set up a High-Speed Distributed Parallel Processing System. To build a supercomputer using off-the-shelf hardware, free software, and free labor.

Name: Center for Wave Phenomena Linux Cluster Project
Website: http://www.cwp.mines.edu/
Contact: cwp@dix.mines.edu
Description: CWP now has around 20 Pentiums running Linux/XFree86. The newer
200 Mhz chips crank out around 40 Mflops under gcc, with no pentium
optimization and we compute on them in parallel with PVM and MPI.

Contact: Dr. Hank Deitz
KLAT2 -- the Kentucky Linux Athalon Testbed, a project at the University of
Kentucky, is a 64+2 700MHz Athlon cluster using a variety of system
hardware and software performance tricks, including a 264-NIC + 9 switch
implementation of the new Flat Neighborhood network topology.

Name: LAMDI Project
Website: http://gasnet.med.yale.edu/lamdi/
Contact: harms@mbnet.mb.ca
Description: LAMDI is a proposed platform to provide an interface for software
applications that can capture and store hospital patient data, do realtime model
ing of data, control drug infusions, and have a customizeable user interface.

Name: Linux-Equipped Astronauts Project (LEAP)
Website: http://www.cantrip.org/leap.html
Contact: ncm@nospam.cantrip.org
Description: Seeks to provide ports to Linux of all the tools used by the Space Shuttle
and International Space Station astronauts.

Name: MOSIX
Website: http://www.mosix.org
Contact: amnon@cs.huji.ac.il
Description: MOSIX is a software module for supporting cluster computing
with Linux. The core of MOSIX are kernel-level, adaptive load-balancing
algorithms that are designed to respond to variations in resource usage
among the nodes by migrating processes from one node to another,
preemptively and transparently. MOSIX allows a cluster of PCs to work
cooperatively as if part of a single system.

Name: Parallel Processing Using Linux
Website: http://yara.ecn.purdue.edu/~pplinux
Contact: pplinux@ecn.purdue.edu
Four types of parallel processing are under development: (1) SMP Pentium
systems in which multiple processors share a single memory and bus interface
within a single computer, (2) a group of machines interconnected by a network to form a parallel-processing cluster, (3) a Linux system as a "host" for a specialized
attached parallel processor, and (4) SIMD parallelism within a register, which is
facilitated by the MMX (MultiMedia eXtensions).

Name: SETI@Home
Website: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/
Description: SETI@home is a scientific experiment that harnesses the power of millions of Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You
can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.
There's a small but captivating possibility that your computer will detect the faint murmur of a
civilization beyond Earth.

Name: The SHRIMP Project
Website: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/shrimp/
Contact: skumar@cs.princeton.edu
Description: SHRIMP (Scalable, High-Performance, Really Inexpensive Multi-Processor) is a
parallel machine being designed and built in the Computer Science Department at
Princeton University. Shrimp is built from highly-integrated, commodity parts. The
computing nodes of SHRIMP are Pentium PCs, and the routing network is the same
one used in the Intel Paragon. A network interface card is being designed to
connects the PCs to the routing network, and software is also being designed
to make SHRIMP a fully usable multicomputer.
