gem5 uses interconnection network within a "system" (i.e. CPU+OS+Caches+DirecrotyControllers+ ...) I guess what you want is a TCP/IP-network-connected systems. This is also supported; at least for two systems. For more than that, you have to add software-simulated swtich/routers between.
remember! this might not be the best way to simulate a cluster. you should think about the level of abstraction you need.
