Abstract

A Beowulf cluster is a means of bringing together several computers and using software and network components to make this cluster of computers appear and function as one computer with multiple parallel computing processors. A cluster of computers can provide comparable computing power usually found only in very expensive super computers or servers.

摘要

贝奥武夫集群是一种将多台计算机组合在一起的方式，通过使用软件和网络组件，使这组计算机呈现出并如同具有多个并行计算处理器的一台计算机那样运行。计算机集群能够提供通常只有非常昂贵的超级计算机或服务器才具备的相当的计算能力。
