The cluster is really nice stuff -- rackmount 1U dual piii3s, and all sorts
of fancy management stuff so you can control them all from the head node.
There's really cool free software called xCAT which controls it all -- see
<http://www.x-cat.org/>. You set up some files, and then you can reinstall
any of the compute nodes with a single command. And of course run commands
remotely, etc.
This one is just 24 nodes -- at the end of the month, we've got another
128-node one coming in. No sleep for me. :)
