Sceaf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1535 words)
In the opening lines of Beowulf, Scyld is called Scyld Scefing, which might mean Scyld descendant of Scef, Scyld son of Scef, or Scyld of the Sheaf.
Scyld is sometimes son of Sceaf and sometimes son of Heremod and a descendant of Scef.
Perhaps a misunderstanding of Scyld Scefing as Scyld the Scefing instead of Scyld of the Sheaf led to the boat story being transferred to Scyld's supposed father Sceaf when he became misunderstood as the true first king in the dynasty.
Scyld Delivers Out Of The Box Beowulf Clustering. (910 words)
Scyld Beowulf only needs to be installed on one master node and will run clusters of hundreds of compute nodes.
In addition, Scyld Beowulf's simplified master node installation and administration eliminates the administrative costs and potential risks inherent in other HPC clusters that require nodes to be administered separately.
Donald Becker, Scyld's founder and Chief Technology Officer, and other Scyld developers were the original architects of Beowulf computing while working at NASA as research scientists.
