High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Originally referring to a specific computer built in 1994, Beowulf is a class of computer clusters similar to the original NASA system. Originally developed by Thomas Sterling and Donald Becker at NASA, Beowulf systems are now deployed worldwide, chiefly in support of scientific computing. They are high-performance parallel computing clusters of inexpensive personal computer hardware. The name comes from the main character in the Old English poem Beowulf, which was bestowed by Sterling because the epic poem describes the Beowulf as having "thirty men's heft of grasp in the gripe of his hand."
