Subject: MultiProcessor Systems, many questions...

Hello all.  I am most interested in this type of system configuration,
especially in the realm of computer chess programming.  Any information would be
 most gratefully accepted.

My question are:

How exactly does this work?  How would one code for such a system?

Who produces multiprocessor systems currenlty?  I know Sun does as does Oracle,
but anyone in the x86 universe?

What operating systems support these systems?  WindowsNT?  Linux?  MacOS?
SunOS?

What is Beowulf?

Where could one purchase such a system?  Better question;  how could somone make
his/her customer machine in this fashion?

What chess programs utilize this system?  KnightCap?  GNU?


Thank you very much!
