A beowulf cluster practices distributed processing. Rather than having 24
CPUs in one computer, you have 24 computers all networked together and you
have a couple masters that tell the slaves what to do. That's the jist of
it. I believe Slashdot had some articles on them, if you search through
the older stuff.

In the beginning there was data. The data was without form and
null, and darkness was upon the face of the console; and the Spirit of
IBM was moving over the face of the market. And DEC said, "Let there
be registers"; and there were registers. And DEC saw that they
carried; and DEC separated the data from the instructions. DEC called
the data Stack, and the instructions they called Code. And there was
evening and there was morning, one interrupt.
