Q: Where can I talk to others who are using the beowulf?

A: There is a mailing list, beowulf-list@cim.mcgill.ca which is intended for this purpose. All mail to this list goes to all members of the beowulf group. Requests should be sent to beowulf-list-request@cim.mcgill.ca.

Q: Why is the domain of the beowulf beowulf.cim?

A: The beowulf runs on a private (class C) network so as not to inferere and/or depend on other computing resources at CIM. In order to make this obvious, we have chosen a domain name which is separate from cim.mcgill.ca.
