| | Open cluster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Determining the distances to astronomical objects is crucial to understanding them, but the vast majority of objects are too far away for their distances to be directly determined. | | | Sometimes, two clusters born at the same time will form a binary cluster. | | | Many more are known in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds — they are easier to detect in external systems than in our own galaxy because projection effects can cause unrelated clusters within the Milky Way to appear close to each other. |

| | DevChannel: Resources for Enterprise Developers |
| | More often than not clusters, which are generally from 32 to thousands of tightly coupled Intel processors, have become an option for high performance computing (HPC), and even in general purpose computing in the commercial sector, especially for search engines. | | | Clusters got a big boost from the need for distributed computing for Web searches in the 1990s and from the explosion of Linux. | | | Large Linux clusters force organizations to choose between two kinds of file systems. |

| | Linux Parallel Processing Using Clusters |
| | Each of the machines in a cluster can be a complete system, usable for a wide range of other computing applications. | | | Clusters are currently both the most popular and the most varied approach, ranging from a conventional network of workstations (NOW) to essentially custom parallel machines that just happen to use Linux PCs as processor nodes. | | | Cluster computing can scale to very large systems. |

| | These "cluster" supercomputers made of low-cost Linux computers are chiefly an academic phenomenon, where researchers have tight budgets along with the expertise to assemble their own supercomputers. | | | Beowulf clusters are good for brute-force tasks, but some users have begun applying the systems to jobs that require more finesse, such as chip design and financial analysis. | | | Mainstream computing companies such as IBM, Dell Computer and Hewlett-Packard started selling clusters as early as 1999, but the products now are regular items on a price list rather than more customized products built on a case-by-case basis. |

| | These clusters can be composed of just a few machines that handle Web serving, or of hundreds or thousands of nodes that perform high-performance computing tasks that once would have required a supercomputer. | | | Don Becker, who pioneered Beowulf clustering, wrote many of the earliest network device drivers, and is founder and chief technical officer of clustering company Scyld Computing, confirmed that today's commodity Linux clusters are up to most, but not all, computing tasks. | | | Most Linux clusters use off-the-shelf hardware, typically white-box computers that have one or two processors per machine. |

| | What is cluster? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary |
| | Occasionally, the operating system marks a cluster as being used even though it is not assigned to any file. | | | You can free up disk space by reassigning lost clusters, but you should first make sure that the clusters do not, in fact, contain valuable data. | | | DOS and Windows keep track of clusters with the File Allocation Table (FAT). |

| | Windows File System clusters explained |
| | The main rule of clusters is that there cannot be more than 1 file per cluster, otherwise pointing to that cluster would cause problems, as it would be pointing and doing read/write operations on two files at once, which would crash more than you ever seen Windows crash before. | | | The way FAT works is that it keeps a record at the start of the drive of all the files, and to point to the files, it points to the clusters that contain the files. | | | This is because only 1 file per cluster can be stored, and even if it's only 1 byte, the clusters are 32KB (in this example) so is used for 1 file, no matter what. |
