I have recently set up a small test beowulf cluster of 4 machines.

Each has 2GB RAM and a Dual Core 2.0GHz processor and has Debian installed on it.

What should I run on the cluster to test it out?

To learn beowulf clustering.
I am thinking about running something like folding@home to see how it runs and utilizes the spread processing. Just reaching out for ideas

Good Luck with it, was thinking of testing a raspberry pi cluster but too busy at the moment.
