Subject: Beowulf styleworkshop in Thailand

Hi,

Our group has successfully launch a first beowulf style tutorial in
Thailand
on March 25,1998 !

First three hours, we discussed briefly about necessary HW/SW components

required to build a small Beowulf (or Beocup?). We also had live
demonstration by building  2 nodes cluster with Redhat and MPI
running within less than 2 hours. In the afternoon, we had an invited
speaker,
Dr. Ewing Lusk, from Argonne National Laboratory who explained how to
program a cluster using MPI. There are about 30 participants mostly the
scientists,
and computer science/engineer researchers from various leading
institutions
in Thailand. We got a very good respond from the audiences.
This tutorial is a first step to promote the wide spread use of
beowulf cluster in Thailand.  There are at least one another similar
workshop scheduled in October. May be more even before that.
