    1 Supercomputer out of a few junk ones

    I have a friend that just recently showed me his computer setup. He took three laptops and connected them together to form one “super” computer. I wanted to know how one might go about this? What I would like to do is connect my MSI ge apache to one or two other, less powerful computers to increase power, but be able to disconnect the laptop so I can, well, use it as a laptop. I plan on playing games on these computer(s).
    Code:
     Is this possible, can someone explain to me how to do it, in simplest terms. Thanks.

    No…you can’t connect 3 laptops as one.

    Well…Yes you can but you have to open all the laptops and hard wire them in some fashion which is damn near impossible unless your an engineer of some kind. Or, you use some sort of software that can combine the use of a bunch of computers like SETA or that Folding software or Coin Bit Mining. Which I have no idea what the cost would be on something like that.

      A question here..just exactly how does your friend have his pc’s connected/configured to use as one pc? Also could your friend not show you how to configure this setup?

      Edit: Here is a link (2013) of a few things i found on this.. Blocked – Web Street™

        The problem was that he doesn’t entirely know himself. I had asked him, but I am here because I was wondering.

          I did some research and I believe it is called a cluster
