The answer is: Aspects of Cluster Management, network bandwidth in clusters (extremely good information here), Intel EM64T code and Opterons, and PVFS on a medium size cluster
The Beowulf mailing list provides detailed discussions about issues concerning Linux HPC clusters. In this article I review some postings to the Beowulf list on aspects of cluster management, network bandwidth in clusters (with some extremely good information), Intel EM64T code and Opterons, and PVFS on a medium size cluster.
