[Beowulf] massive parallel processing application required

[Douglas Eadline]

If you want to do a little development and impress your friends,
try playing with pgapack (Parallel Genetic Algorithm Library)

http://www-fp.mcs.anl.gov/CCST/research/reports_pre1998/comp_bio/stalk/pgapack.html

You can develop a GA on single computer then run it on
a cluster.
