About Computer Cluster
A
computer cluster is a group of loosely coupled computers that work together
closely so that in many respects it can be viewed as though it were a single
computer. Clusters are commonly connected through fast local area networks. Clusters
are usually deployed to improve speed and/or reliability over that provided by
a single computer, while typically being much more cost-effective than single
computers of comparable speed or reliability.
Cluster
computing has emerged as a result of convergence of several trends including
the availability of inexpensive high performance microprocessors and high speed
networks, the development of standard software tools for high performance
distributed computing. Clusters have evolved to support applications ranging
from ecommerce, to high performance database applications. Clustering has been
available since the 1980s. Cluster computing can also be used as a relatively
low-cost form of parallel processing for scientific and other applications that
lend themselves to parallel operations.
Talking Email
Talking
Email allows users to record a free voice message of up to 30 seconds in
duration and send it as an email message. The service has the capability to
deliver the message to thousands of users simultaneously. Additionally, users
can post their voice message as a link embedded on a Web page. As the
popularity of this service grew, meeting the demand require a scalable
computing platform architecture.
Parallel And Distributed Data Mining
Clusters
have proved themselves to be very effective for a variety of data mining applications.
The data mining process involves both compute and data intensive operations.
