If you want many physical systems to appear like a one single logical 
system, then you're looking at Mosix (http://www.mosix.org/) kind of thing.

Most people who want to do cluster computing usually don't need to have 
that (one single logical computer). Their applications often make do 
with a message passing interface (e.g. MPI library).

But then again... what exactly do you mean by cluster? Some people could 
also refer to a bunch of HA web servers as a cluster too :)
