"What can anyone give you greater than now" - William StaffordThe Berkeley Network of Workstations (NOW) project seeks to harness thepower of clustered machines connected via high-speed switchednetworks. By leveraging commodity workstations and operating systems,NOW can track industry performance increases.The key to NOW is the advent of the killer switch-based andhigh-bandwidth network. This technological evolution allows NOW tosupport a variety of disparate workloads, including parallel,sequential, and interactive jobs, as well as scalable web services,including the world's fastest websearch engine, and commercial workloads, such as NOW-Sort, theworld's fastest disk-to-disk sort.On April 30th, 1997, the NOW team achieved over 10 GFLOPS on the LINPACKbenchmark, propelling the NOW into the top 200 fastest supercomputers inthe world!
