Cluster Computing Basics

Cluster computing is the process of using multiple computing nodes, called clusters, to increase processing power for solving complex problems, such as Big Data analytics and AI model training. These tasks require parallel processing of millions of data points for complex classification and prediction tasks. Cluster computing technology coordinates multiple computing nodes, each with its own CPUs, GPUs, and internal memory, to work together on the same data processing task. Applications on cluster computing infrastructure run as if on a single machine and are unaware of the underlying system complexities.
