As we have entered in twenty 1st century, a century of information technology, the need of supercomputing is expanding in many fields of science and technology. With the availability of low cost commodity hardware, free software, Beowulf style supercomputers have solved the problem of scientific community. The supercomputer helps in solving complex problems, store, process, and manage huge amount of scientific data available all over the globe. In this paper we have tried to discuss the functioning of Beowulf style supercomputer, its scope and future trends.
