TACC's Cluster Systems
Cluster systems are made up of multiple computers, connected together to act as one. Each computer is considered a node in the cluster and can have multiple processors (called processors). Users log in to the cluster through a limited number of head nodes and submit jobs to the many compute nodes. These systems are inherently parallel and can be greatly beneficial when your jobs are also parallelized.
