[Beowulf] CAP Theorem

[John Hearns]

I have been reading two interesting articles on Docker:

http://blog.circleci.com/its-the-future/
http://blog.circleci.com/it-really-is-the-future/

The first one is a good laugh and was meant as a parody.

I guess there may have have been discussions on CAP Theorem with relevance to HPC, and especially exascale systems.
However the term is new to me.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAP_theorem

I realise that it is relevant to distributed databases, but how about distributed computation?
