Off late this paper has developed and maintained a general purpose technical and scientific computing cluster running the FreeBSD operating system. In that time they have grown from a cluster of 8 dual Intel Pentium III systems to the current mix of 64 dual Intel Xeon and 289 dual AMD Opteron systems. This paper looks back on the system architecture as documented in the BSDCon 2003 paper "Building a High-performance Computing Cluster Using FreeBSD" and the changes since that time. After a brief overview of the current cluster they revisit the architectural decisions in that paper and reflect on their long term success.
