When building a supercomputer,

[Illan Weiner]

I currently use an HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini 35W with an i7 core. This has been my machine for many years, but I am now giving the Apple Mac Mini a try. I am very well ingrained in the Apple ecosystem and getting a Mac mini will only complement the current Apple products I own. The question that I have to ask is "Can I somehow utilize my current HP computer's processing power or whatnot once I get the Mac Mini?" Just like Apple presented the possibility of combining multiple Mac Minis, can the same be done cross-platform (meaning Mac Mini + HP EliteDesk)? If so, then how? If not, can I perform this combination using multiple HP EliteDesks to build an HP SuperEliteDesk?

 

Let me know if I'm making any sense with my post. Thanks for reading.

unfortunately no you can't combine them.

You need at least 3 identical systems in order to cluster them together.

depending on what you are doing you could for example edit a video on your mac and then render it on the HP while you are already editing a new one on the mac.

Only works if both support the same programm ofc.

so that would be the only application where I could "combine" any 2 or more computers?

"Cluster" is the industry term for what you want to do.
