 cat << EOF
+Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance
+computing systems such as clusters and Grids. It is based on a hierarchical
+design targeted at federations of clusters. It relies on a multicast-based
+listen/announce protocol to monitor state within clusters and uses a tree
+of point-to-point connections amongst representative cluster nodes to
+federate clusters and aggregate their state. It leverages widely used
+technologies such as XML for data representation, XDR for compact, portable
+data transport, and RRDtool for data storage and visualization. It uses
+carefully engineered data structures and algorithms to achieve very low
+per-node overheads and high concurrency. The implementation is robust,
+has been ported to an extensive set of operating systems and processor
+architectures, and is currently in use on over 500 clusters around the
+world. It has been used to link clusters across university campuses and
+around the world and can scale to handle clusters with 2000 nodes.
