Can You Feel It?

| Skipping ahead, Linux HPC clusters now dominate the market. We often hear
| about the “big ones”, but many small individual or group clusters still
| exist. I believe, the rapid and disruptive growth was due to the low barriers
| to entry. You could play with “it” before you committed big resources to a
| larger system. A simple and effective “try before you buy” proposition.
