Mac Mini Cluster with other PC

[LIQUIDFOX00200]

Speed up Mac Mini by clustering it with faster computer??

is it possible?? 

Can I pool computer resources to Mac Mini and speed up its task by clustering it up with my gaming pc??

will it increase performance?? Video editing?? Gaming??

can I cluster all of my PCs to make a powerful computer?? 

How to do it properly??

Thank You

If you are asking this, you have lots of computer science studying to do first.

 

Some 3D rendering programs have a way to do this, but it is not simple to setup.

You would need to convert it over to Linux AFAIK.

 

Also, you have to get cluster aware software.  Normal software will not work.

Here are some applications for modern Hadoop clusters...

Okay that’s what we do for Mac!!

will it speed up my Mac Mini?? 

What if I want to build a VM Server?? 

Can I play video games on my cluster??

#1 OK

#2 no

#3 doesnt do that

#4 doesnt do that either

 

Its more for things like... scientific math (folding@home for example) or doing large ray-tracing/rendering projects (POV RAY, Maya, 3DS-Max).

Private cloud server, media server, general file server, IRC server, VoIP hub, TOR router, VPN bridge/server, and tons more.

 

These things arent sexy, but can be invaluable if you are on the road or need things accessible from any device in your home.
