  Sceaf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the opening lines of Beowulf, Scyld is called Scyld Scefing, which might mean Scyld descendant of Scef, Scyld son of Scef, or Scyld of the Sheaf.
Scyld is sometimes son of Sceaf and sometimes son of Heremod and a descendant of Scef.
Perhaps a misunderstanding of Scyld Scefing as Scyld the Scefing instead of Scyld of the Sheaf led to the boat story being transferred to Scyld's supposed father Sceaf when he became misunderstood as the true first king in the dynasty.

 Scyld Delivers Out Of The Box Beowulf Clustering.
Scyld Beowulf only needs to be installed on one master node and will run clusters of hundreds of compute nodes.
In addition, Scyld Beowulf's simplified master node installation and administration eliminates the administrative costs and potential risks inherent in other HPC clusters that require nodes to be administered separately.
Donald Becker, Scyld's founder and Chief Technology Officer, and other Scyld developers were the original architects of Beowulf computing while working at NASA as research scientists.

 Penguin Computing touts updated Beowulf Linux clustering - Computer Business Review
Scyld has woven Ganglia into BeoMaster in such a way that the agents used to feed BeoMaster data from the compute nodes are now feeding data into the Ganglia management program.
And Scyld has just announced it is now offering high availability clustering and failover for the master node in the cluster so the failure of the master node doesn't crash a running job.
He says Scyld is not trying to chase down the high-profile, multi-teraflops supercomputing deals that make all the press, but rather has created a product that is suitable for big companies that need to do market analysis and simulations and who might need a few hundred nodes.

 beowulf old english poetry translation harp performance storytelling
Like Grendel, Scyld Scefing is bold (ellen) and terrifying (egsian, egesa); and like the monster, the great Danish progenitor is associated with the devastation of “upturned mead benches.” The likeness is explicit, though perhaps too briefly elaborated for modern readers unaquainted with the terror of feast hall attacks.
Scyld Scefing is introduced as a “wrecker of mead halls,” yet the Prologue studies the magnificence of the man, not his malevolence.
Yet Hrothgar is the inheritor of Scyld Scefing, a wrecker of mead halls, a man who is buried by a pagan (materialist) culture lacking redemption.

 Explanatory Notes on Beowulf
Scyld is well known in the Scandinavian tradition as Skjoldr, the ancestor of the Skjoldungar.
Scyld Scefing not only subdued troops of enemy tribes, but even terrified the "Eruli", who were then the most feared tribe in the north.
In purely artistic terms, as Scyld's legend concerns the deliverance of the Danes from suffering by a boat-borne saviour, it can be seen also to anticipate Beowulf's own arrival by sea similarly to liberate the Dane from affliction' (46-8).

 The Heroic Age: Redundant Ethnogenesis in Beowulf
Richard Abels (1998: 27-28) has suggested, in fact, that the version of the legend of Scyld which the Beowulf poet offers in the opening lines of the poem bears comparison with the career of King Alfred's grandfather, Ecgberht of Wessex, who "had risen from inauspicious beginnings to be a mighty king".
The Scylding kings are given a sequence of heroic forebears to Noah, in turn giving the West Saxon royal family a biblical ancestry which can be traced back to the creation of the human race on earth.
I have argued elsewhere that, in addition to their inspiration by powers of spiritual darkness, Grendel and his mother are associated more specifically with the antimonarchical forces of tribal violence and endemic blood-feud (Davis 1996: 89-134).
