Hi, We have a 64 node cluster entire based on FreeBSD 5.1 for high performance computing at the Federal University of Alagoas (http://www.typhon.ufal.br). It has 36 Dell Pentium IV 2.4GHz nodes and 36 Gateway Atlhon 1GHz using a fast-ethernet network (the peak performance for Dell machines, measured with xhpl, is 37 Gflops). Applications may use MPI for inter-process communication. For the cluster management we are testing the Ganglia (http://ganglia.sourceforge.net) and for scheduling the Maui (http://supercluster.org/maui).
