The workload would be shared among the nodes, making much faster than using
one single machine.
I saw a beast like this running, and it was amazing. The cluster was just
for demo, so it was made of cheap machines, and there were just 3 of them -
but its the difference that matters, right?
To render an image:
With just the master -> 70 seg (using both processors)
With the master (both processors) and the two slaves -> 21 sec
Hardware:
Master: Dual Pentium III 550
384 MB
Slave: Single Pentium III 650 EB
256 MB
Software: PovRay
Image: SkyVase.pov
SO: RedHat Linux 7.1 and Conectiva Linux 7.0
The machines were connected by fast ethernet, and a switch.

not that its hard to share common data with a non clustering OS

Why not? Run several instances.

1. When you are crossposting, please set a F'up2.
2. The subject has nothing to do with the contents, so it should be changed.
3. I don't think this is a platform specific thing, so it's OT in both
groups. F'up2 povray.general.
