There is the cluster software I have been working on, which is failover software, and then there is the Beowulf type--which you have to get somewhere else. As I see it they are probably different ports. If you want failover, check here: http://www.sporner.com/freebsdclusters otherwise, check for a Beowulf port. I still intend to write a futures paper for the next version (including process swapping across machines--towards where VMS clusters are).
