Abstract puting, most simply stated, is distributed
A cluster is a collection of indrpendeent and cheap ma- computing taken to the next evolutionary level. The
chines, used together as a puter to provide a goal is to create the illusion of a simple yet large and
solution. In this paper, a PC cluster consists of one powerful self managing puter out of a large
master node and nine diskless slave nodes (10 proces- collection of connected heterogeneous systems sharing
sors), is proposed and built for parallel rendering pur- binations of resources. The standardization

computing and Grid technologies promise to change dardization for sharing resources, along with the avail-
