Well, it depends on exactly what sort of cluster you are trying to build and for what purpose. Usually a good place to start in your research is reading about computer clusters and about the software used to make them online. Interestingly we were just discussing this not long ago in another thread pertaining to building a render farm for use with Blender. We determined that due to the nature of rendering activities that using a queue manager and discrete clients was better than using a traditional cluster with process migration. I went fairly in depth about clusters in the thread, and I think if you read it and follow some of the links and go beyond that you will perhaps find the answer to your question.
