A very good paper about building HPC clusters with FreeBSD:

"Building a High-performance Computing Cluster Using FreeBSD"

http://people.freebsd.org/~brooks/papers/bsdcon2003/

The author talked about hardware issues: KVM, BIOS redirection, CPU
choices; and then talked about why he chose FreeBSD instead of Linux...
he also did the port of GridEngine (SGE) to FreeBSD.

Anyone tried to setup HPC clusters with *BSD??
