Hi,

When I look at the Red Hat cluster manuals 1 2, they only explain how to install it but not what applications can use it. I am new to clusters, so I don't know these things =)

Let's say I want to 3 node high performance cluster; What applications would work with it?

Also, how does an application talk to the cluster? Does the application need to have been written to support clusters?
