Abstract
This paper presents the design, construction and configuration of a computer system in a cluster type setup, which has a low cost and is commonly used to solve problems that require large computing capabilities, both memory storage and processing. In general, these technologies are expensive, but this paper presents a low-cost alternative. These problems cannot be solved on isolated computers due to the large amount of data involved and the amount of numerical operations required to perform. In this paper we show numerical results in applications that have great practical utility (Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Thermal Problems, etc…), which reflect good performance and proper use of computational resources. The cluster mentioned in this paper provides excellent computing power at low cost.
