Combining Processors For More Processing Power
<JoJo> 26.06.2007 14:03:42
Folks:


I have 5 windows computers. Each processor is about 3.0 MHz. I can choose to
install either XP or Server 2003 on these machines.
I would like to arrange/connect these machines in some sort of network so
that I have a total of 15Mhz avalable for any application
that I choose to run.

* Is this sort of thing even possible ?
* Is this goal related to the concepts of computer clustering or grid
computing ?
* If possible, what type of hardware/software do I need to make this
"supercomputer" ?

Appreciate any references showing how processors can be combined to increase
processing power.



Thanks,
Jo.

Google for "distributed computing" - and go easy on the crossposting! This
question isn't really relevant to servers, SBS, clustering, or windows 2000
newsgroups.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_computing may be of some use. As to
whether you can make this work for you - can't say.

You may be referring to Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, which is
different than the focus of this newsgroup.

I remember 15 Mhz - but I don't think it was a supercomputer :)
