Cluster Computing and Applications

The needs and expectations of modern-day applications are changing in the sense that they not only need computing resources (be they processing power, memory or disk space), but also the ability to remain available to service user requests almost constantly 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. These needs and expectations of today’s applications result in challenging research and development efforts in both the areas of computer hardware and software.
