Computer cluster (concept), consists of a set of connected computers that work together and can be viewed as a single system. Computer clusters have each node set to perform the same task, controlled and scheduled by software.
(Design & Configuration) In a Beowulf system, the application programs never see the computational nodes (slave computers), but only interact with the "master", which is a specific computer handling the scheduling and management of the slaves.
