1.3 About this HOWTO

Jacek Radajewski started work on this document in November 1997 and was soon joined by Douglas Eadline. Over a few months the Beowulf HOWTO grew into a large document, and in August 1998 it was split into three documents: Beowulf HOWTO, Beowulf Architecture Design HOWTO, and the Beowulf Installation and Administration HOWTO. Version 1.0.0 of the Beowulf HOWTO was released to the Linux Documentation Project on 11 November 1998. We hope that this is only the beginning of what will become a complete Beowulf Documentation Project.

1.4 About the authors

  • Jacek Radajewski works as a Network Manager, and is studying for an honors degree in computer science at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia. Jacek's first contact with Linux was in 1995 and it was love at first sight. Jacek built his first Beowulf cluster in May 1997 and has been playing with the technology ever since, always trying to find new and better ways of setting things up. You can contact Jacek by sending e-mail to jacek@usq.edu.au
  • Douglas Eadline, Ph.D. is President and Principal Scientist at Paralogic, Inc., Bethlehem, PA, USA. Trained as Physical/Analytical Chemist, he has been involved with computers since 1978 when he built his first single board computer for use with chemical instrumentation. Dr. Eadline's interests now include Linux, Beowulf clusters, and parallel algorithms. Dr. Eadline can be contacted by sending email to deadline@plogic.com
