Lately I've been reading about what, exactly it takes to build a beowulf cluster. And damned if the powers that be in company I work for don't task me and some other dude with doing the ground work for building one.

Our first order is to rough out what, exactly it takes... Then we build a prototype with a few nodes, then scale up.

Being as how I work in DC, I've started with these guys, and work up from there.

Any other pointers, tips, or links I should keep in mind?
