CPUklusterit

CPUklusterit, often referred to as CPU clusters, are systems composed of multiple independent computers, or nodes, networked together to function as a single, powerful computing resource. Each node typically contains its own central processing unit (CPU), memory, and storage. The primary purpose of a CPU cluster is to enhance computational power, reliability, and scalability beyond what a single computer can offer.

These clusters are commonly employed for computationally intensive tasks such as scientific simulations, financial modeling, data analysis, and rendering. By distributing workloads across multiple nodes, clusters can significantly reduce processing times for complex problems. They achieve this through parallel processing, where different parts of a problem are solved simultaneously on different nodes.

There are various types of CPU clusters, including high-performance computing (HPC) clusters designed for maximum processing speed, and high-availability (HA) clusters focused on ensuring continuous operation by having redundant nodes ready to take over if one fails. The interconnectedness of nodes is crucial, with high-speed networking technologies like Ethernet or InfiniBand facilitating efficient communication and data transfer between them. Management software is essential for distributing tasks, monitoring performance, and handling node failures.
