Clusterware

Description

What is clusterware? Clusterware is any software that allows groups ("clusters") of networked computers to operate or be controlled as if they are one. Just like middleware is software that sits between (in the "middle" of) two applications, clusterware sits between two or more nodes in a group of computers. This site contains resources related to clusterware that I've encountered since the mid-1990s, when I first took an active interest in this software field through my academic studies in economics and finance. By harnessing the power of groups of computers, clusterware allows one to tackle "hard" problems that a single computer alone would take too long to solve. One of the most famous examples of clusterware in use to solve a hard scientific problem is the SETI Project.
