Abstract

This paper reviews the current programming models for clusters. While client-server continues to be by far the dominant model, parallel and peer-to-peer computing are gaining importance. Parallel cluster computing offers the means of achieving high performance at a low cost. Peer-to-peer is an expression of the changing features of cluster/grids, mobility and heterogeneity being among the most important. All models have merits but none can cover all aspects of interest, making the topic of cluster computing model an open issue.
