N2 - A view of the past, present and future of high-performance computing is given. The paper implies that every parallel system employing replicated resources is a cluster. The objective of the paper is to restore the strength and value of the term 'cluster' by degeneralizing its applicability to a restrict subset of parallel computers. This class is further considered in conjugation with its complemeting term constellation, beowolf class, and massively parallel processing systems (MPP), based on the classification used by the Top 500 list.
