Mini toolsDefinition
Groups of computers interconnected to act as a single unified computing resource.
Detailed Explanation
HPC clusters combine multiple computers (nodes) into a single system using high-speed networks and specialized software. They typically include head nodes for management, compute nodes for processing, storage nodes, and high-speed interconnects. Sophisticated job scheduling and resource management systems optimize workload distribution and system utilization.
Use Cases
Scientific computing, large-scale simulations, data analysis, machine learning, genomics research
