Free Linux Compute Clusters Book

This free book will help you get up and running with Linux Clusters. In general, a computer or compute "Cluster" refers to a set of computer systems connected together. For the purposes of this book a cluster is set of computers which are connected to each other, and are physically located close to each other, in order to solve problems more efficiently. These types of clusters are also referred to as High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters, or simply Compute clusters.

Clusters are becoming increasingly popular as computational resources both in research and commercial organizations. These organizations are favoring clusters over single large servers for a wide variety of problems. The increasing popularity of the Linux operating system is adding fuel to this fire as Linux provides a very cost effective and open environment to build a cluster.

The author of this book is currently looking for co-author(s) and will eventually publish it using one of the Open Document Licenses.
