Just install the software on a bunch of different PCs?

I need it to act as one PC. Even if its a VM.

Doesn't the software automatically turn your PC into part of a cluster?

Otherwise just google around for linux clusters, maybe try the level 1 techs forum

There is way too much involved for anyone to tell you here....

You are going to need to read through the documentation for whatever clustering management platform you want to use and for the UltraQuant configuration. I'd recommend LSF since that is what UltraQuant has written their examples for, but it shouldn't matter.
