Cluster computing is one of the most interesting innovations in the field of parallel computing in the recent past.Due to record low prices on hardware and the availability of free, open source software, massive amounts of computing power are available to the general population.This availability allows for the implementation of cluster computing that can serve as the function of one PC based computer.This paper focuses on the implementation and the use of small cluster computing of three computers.It is quite impossible for us to effort a costly supercomputer and knows its performance.To minimize cost we have to consider some issues, these are software choice, installation, configuration and networking.In addition to the implementation of the cluster computing here uses LINUX operating System and OSCAR (Open Source Cluster Application Resources) & MPICH (Implementation of MPI, the Standard for the message passing libraries) that is fully free.
