Beowulf (Beowulf cluster)

A Beowulf cluster is a group of separate computers connected together to work as one powerful system. They share tasks, such as processing large amounts of data or running complex simulations, by coordinating their efforts. This setup uses standard hardware and open-source software, making it cost-effective and flexible compared to traditional supercomputers. Think of it as a team of computers collaborating efficiently to handle demanding jobs, increasing processing capacity without needing a single, expensive machine.
