    Are there Clustered Computing solutions for Windows ?


    I have been researching this topic for a while , about harnessing the power of all PCs and Laptops within a home or a company to achieve super computing / gaming .

    All my researches leads to that its quite possible over Linux using shell commands dedicated for the process , even quite possible over Android using OTG and Network Adapters as it is Linux based , yet however no one invested in it demonstrating if it works and its cons and pros .

    However I cant seem to find any resources on same topic when it comes to windows , so anyone came across the topic or know if windows native-ly or through 3rd party apps would support clustered computing ?

    How much money do you have to setup a Windows Server Failover Cluster? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/pre...ows-clustering https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/

    The short answer is no. A fail-over cluster won't give you a single compute pool which is what you're asking for, it just gives you standby nodes.

    It can be done with Windows Server if your apps are cluster aware for parallel computing, if they're not designed for this then you'd need a multi-tiered application and run it via a load balancer which is an unlikely scenario for playing games at home.
