More general term one could use is the "processing element". For example if a cluster consists of 2 nodes with each having 1 single core CPU, 2 nodes with each having 1 dual core CPU, 2 nodes with each having 1 quad core CPU, 2 nodes with each having 2 dual core CPUs, and 2 nodes with each having 2

I would call a cluster with 32 nodes and 8 cores in each node a 32 node, 256 CPU cluster. yes, definitely. node implies a boundary of memory addressing: after all, it's a cluster because we need to use distributed-memory programming techniques like MPI to harness it. often nodes that have mor

Hi, I am kinda confused with term cluster and now am sure if this where I can post my question. What exactly can be defined as a cluster ?, We have a 32 node cluster in our lab. and the number 32 here is referred to 32 separate machines ( each with its own processor ). What about the new machines
