[wplug] Re: suggestions for the new year

[J Aaron Farr]

I really like the 'we should build our own beowulf' idea.

I'm pretty certain that the nodes do not need to have the same 
architecture--although architecture homogeneity would make the process much 
simplier I'm sure. ORNL's "Stone SouperComputer" has (or had) some 486's, 
Pentiums, and Alphas all working together (http://stonesoup.esd.ornl.gov/).
