Windows cluster

Hello

I have created an exe file in Java to perform a certain task.

I am just wondering if it?s possible to have a Windows Cluster so that each computer works as a large super computer to make this single exe file work faster?

I think its possible through Linux, but I am restricted to do this in Windows XP Pro.

Thanks
 
a cluster wouldn't do that anyway, you'd need a beowulf configuration. A cluster is simple redunancy and load balancing of multithreaded data over a high speed link, a beowulf actually shares load balancing in a truer way.
 
I believe you could rewrite the Java code with CORBA, or SOAP, so it could communicate with other copies of itself. But there's no general way to make any app instantly distributed. Even for Beowulf, you need to make sure the app runs lots of processes, or threads (I'm not sure threads will work in Windows, and I'm not sure Java threads will work anyway.)

A google for Windows Beowulf turns up this book if that's any help.
 
here is a link that talks a bit about windows clustering. im at work so i didnt get a chance to review it in great detail but it looks like a good read.
