A computer cluster is a group of loosely coupled computers that
work together closely so that in many respects it can be viewed
as though it were a single computer. Clusters are commonlyconnected through fast local area networks. Clusters are usually deployed toimprove speed and/or reliability over that provided by a single computer,while typically being much more cost-effective than single computers ofcomparable speed or reliability. Cluster computing has emerged as a resultof convergence of several trends including the availability of inexpensivehigh performance microprocessors and high speed networks, thedevelopment of standard software tools for high performance distributedcomputing.
