[ILUG] Getting started with Beowulf

[ILUG] Getting started with Beowulf

Hello all,

Can anyone offer me suggestions on good books or resources that would help
get me up to speed with Beowulf clustering?

I've written an application that does calculations on fluid dynamics,
propellers and hull forms (boaty stuff) and the intention is to move it on
to a cluster to speed it up. At the moment one calculation takes about 3
days on a dual core Xeon, so there are obvious benefits to moving it on to a
cluster.

I have free access to dozens of old university PCs and servers (all P4 and
adbove) and the plan is to cluster them.

The thing is I've never worked with clusters before and I don't have a clue
where to start. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Cheers,
Robert Grundulis
