What is Cluster? There are two common Cluster (clusters) architectures, one is Web/internet Cluster system, which is to place data on different hosts, that is, multiple hosts are simultaneously responsible for one service, and the other is the so-called parallel operation! Parallel operation is actually the work of the same operation, to the entire Cluster inside the CPU to perform a synchronous operation of a function. With the ability to use multiple CPUs, you can speed up the operation. At present, more common in parallel computing functions, usually need to be seen on the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13840.html "> supercomputer, these supercomputers are mainly used in astronomy, military, Physics, and so on, requires very sophisticated, large amounts of work, and stability is usually used on the hardware architecture above the Unix system.
