Add to ORKGWe investigate the use of a cluster of networked Apple iMac or Power Macintosh personal computers as a compute server for sequential and parallel programs, and describe our experiences with a cluster of iMacs used primarily for an undergraduate teaching laboratory. We explore the support for cluster computing offered by the various operating systems available for the Macintosh: MacOS 8; the upcoming MacOS X which offers Unix functionality; and the recently available LinuxPPC for the Macintosh. We present sequential and parallel benchmark performance results for an iMac cluster, a Beowulf-style Intel Pentium PC cluster, and a network of DEC Alpha workstations. We compare the performance and price/performance of these systems, and discuss som...
