ClusterCluster
A Cluster is a type of parallel or distributed processing system, which consists of a collection of interconnected stand alone/complete computers cooperatively working together as a single, integrated computing resource.
clus·ter n. 1. A group of the same or similar elements gathered or occur
ring closely together; a bunch: “She held out her hand, a small tight cluster of fingers” (Anne Tyler).
2. Linguistics. Two or more successive consonants in a word, as cl and st in the word cluster.
Why Parallel Processing?
Evolutionary Computation
FeaturesIt simulates the mechanism of creatures’ heredity and evolution. It can apply to several types of problems.It needs a huge computational costs.
There are several individuals.Tasks can be divided into sub tasks.

What is cluster computing systems?
Beowulf Cluster
A Beowulf is a collection of personal computers (PCs) interconnected by widely available networking running any one of several open-source Unix-like operating systems.Some Linux clusters are built for reliability instead of speed. These are not Beowulfs. The Beowulf Project was started by Donald Becker when he moved to CESDIS in early 1994. CESDIS was located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, and was operated for NASA by USRA.

The Berkeley NOW project
The Berkeley NOW project is building system support for using a network of workstations (NOW) to act as a distributed supercomputer on a building-wide scale. April 30, 1997: NOW makes LINPACK Top 500!June 15, 1998: NOW Retreat Finale
