- These days, the term "cluster" can have at least two definitions...
-
- The first is the "classic" definition - the one that involves HP's

-
- The second is the "new" definition - the one that involves "cluster
- computing" where jobs are farmed-out to different systems and such.
- The HP/Convex "stuff" ;-) falls under this definition.
