[ale] Old paperwork on clusters

[Jim Kinney]

Hah!

It's amazing to look at how things have changed! The first attempt at
HPC I did was in 1998-1999. If I drop the "H" (and the "P" stands for
"pokey") I was mostly successful :-). OK. so network over 10M hubs is
not high performance fantasy material but I did get some message
passing to happen with perl, nc and custom signals based on time
stamps.

Now, HPC is a big driver in kernel devel.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
