What, only one?

Last I knew Beowolf was running very well on Alpha RISC based computers.
I'll bet somebody has already done the work to port it to PA-RISC.

Last thing I read on High Performance computing was that the wizard who
wrote the original Beowolf software had written Beowolf II and was inviting
people to bring in any old Intel desktop to a users group where he would
hand out disks and build a supercomputing cluster live at the meeting.
