Hi Amit,
Among these, the term that actually _fascinated_ me is a "cluster". What I would like to know is- what can be called a cluster? and what cannot be? I tested my parallel search program using using 4-nodes running Linux and Open MPI. So have I implemented a Linux cluster?
Yes, you have created a cluster.More information on general parallel/cluster computing topics can be found at the Beowulf website:
