 	       GENETIC PREDICTION APPLICATION ON A 
 	            LOW-COST CLUSTER OF PCs
 
   Researchers in CSU's Department of Animal Sciences require 
   high performance computing power to solve problems in the
   fields of population and molecular genetics.  To meet their
   needs, Dr. Bruce Golden and colleagues have constructed a
   "Beowulf" supercomputer, one of about 50 similar systems
   in the country.  CSU's Beowulf consists of 16 200-MHz
   Pentium Pro PCs connected to dual fast Ethernet LANs with
   a total of 1 gigabyte of memory.  The PCs are running the
   Linux operating system.  The system cost less than $50,000.
 
   Dr. Golden will describe the hardware and software of their 
   Beowulf system and will present an overview of the applica-
   tions they currently run.  For more information, see the
