Article name

Should live at Beowulf cluster, unless "Beowulf Cluster" is a proper name--right? --Larry Sanger 08:48, 22 February 2007 (CST)

In all known publications both names are used - probably due to the connection with HPPC computing and MPC (massive parallel computing) and other distriduted ways of high performance computing. Robert Tito | Talk

Here's a simple test - in which form is it most likely to be written in an article - Cluster or cluster? -- ZachPruckowski (Talk) 09:18, 22 February 2007 (CST)

OK well here's another test... on the page http://beowulf.org it's "Beowulf.org is a collection of resources for the expanding universe of users and designers of Beowulf class cluster computers."

Beowulf is a class of cluster. There are other types of clusters (/me goes off and looks to see if the Mosix article exists on CZ) --Eric M Gearhart 11:13, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

OK well I'm going to be bold and move it over to Beowulf cluster --Eric M Gearhart 12:03, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

Couple of things

OK first off, Beowulf clusters don't necessarily have to be run on open source software. A lot are, it's not a requirement though. Secondly, there are much better sources that a Slashdot posting, readily available. I'm going to take a look at correcting these things on this article --Eric M Gearhart 15:28, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

Just a note to say these things have since been corrected --Eric M Gearhart 16:59, 9 April 2007 (CDT)
