It seems these days more and more research environments are taking advantage of using a cluster of computers for running parallel programs on them. So what is a cluster? In the computing world there are two types of clustering. One type is for high redundancy and fail-over for usually one high profile computer. In this [...]

Traditionally in the computational world there were two types of compute cluster configurations. One type is called “Shared Memory” and the other is called a “Beowulf”. With the Shared Memory systems it was boxes of computers plugged together with a very high speed interconnect. The connect made it so that all the pieces connected together [...]
