Hi guys,

I'm looking for a clustering solution that will help me achieve the
following:

I want to build a cluster of computers that will act as if it was one
single supercomputer. Something like openSSI (single system image cluster)
provides. I'm new clustering so I would like to know if there's anyway to
achieve this using freeBSD. 

With this type of cluster I would like to be able to just add a new node to
the cluster whenever I need more power.

Please let me know of any applications or any how-to in the internet that
will help me achieve this.

Thanks in advance!
