LinuxToday has this item: “It has been decided to postpone the Clustrum to early July. The Clustrum is the
365-node Beowulf Cluster project for the anniversary of Utrecht University. The
main reason for postponing is the lack of certainty on the number of machines
available. A number of machines that were destined to be used in the cluster had
been reallocated to education purposes at the last moment. Due to this, we lost 100
machines and 50 extra network points. Another factor was the lack of clarity in the
scope of work needed to enable the borrowed 170 machines to function within the
limited time left.”
