If you’ve ever wondered how to use off-the-shelf computing gear to crunch big numbers, manage huge models, or tackle ginormous computing problems, wonder no more. Clusters For Dummies is just for you. In this book, you can discover how software and technology enable modern networks to convey humongous hunks of information among clusters of PCs to match – and, in some cases, exceed – supercomputer capabilities.
Although computer clustering may sound exotic, it isn’t. Computing cluster technology relies on fast networks and some clever software to schedule and manage big, complex computing jobs on relatively inexpensive PCs and networks. Major players in industries from pharmaceuticals to oil and gas exploration to chip design bet their bottom lines on computer clusters – and they win big. You can do likewise.
