A Beowulf cluster is a collection of computers interconnected via a local area network which together act as a parallel computing environment. The cluster is constructed using off the shelf personal computers (pc) running a UNIX operating system. With the use of special software like the Message Passing Interface, programs can be constructed to execute in parallel which allows multiple operations to be done at the same in order to reduce execution time.
