HPC Windows Project back on track

After a turbulent winter, I have now resumed work on the beowulf cluster project. All my weekends and evenings for the next quarter are already spent. I wonder how I will sell this proposition to the girlfriend. Perhaps a chilvarous pitch might do the trick..."Darling, it's a climate change calculation engine..."

The next few weeks will see me configure the head node and install the SUN GRID ENGINE tools. Then the slave nodes will be configured and the obligatory benchmarking LINPACK tools will be executed to determine the cluster performance.
