[luau] Heart Smart and Beowulf

[Elizabeth Long]

Today, right now, research is taking place to learn just what
triggers fibrillation - a condition where the heart can begin
beating up to 600 times a minute - with the hope that perhaps
such events can be shut down before they even get started. 

One such research program is taking place at the University of
Alabama, Birmingham (UAB), where the effects of electrical fields
on human heart tissue are observed not in a gory lab, but rather
in the confines of a Beowulf cluster of servers running Linux.
