Hi all, I`m planing to build a beofulf Linux cluster at my school next month. It will be probably build using LAM/MPI. Does anyone know of any programs that are written to run on a LAN/MPI Beowulf cluster so I can try them on the cluster that I hope I`ll be abble to build? Some weather / mathematical programs ?

Do you know any programs already written for that stuff ?

Look up the "community climate model". The only down side is figuring out how to run it once it's built ...

Try looking up software that makes use of the "Monte Carlo method" to calculate bulk properties (like mean path of a liquid traveling from top to bottom through a glass filled with beads).
