<p>A processing cluster (40) comprises a plurality of processor nodes (43a, 43b, 44a, 44b, 44c) and a configuration management system. Each processor node comprises a configuration agent operable to apply configuration parameters provided by the configuration management system. The configuration management system provides the same configuration parameters obtained from a common set of configuration parameters to all the processor nodes in the processing cluster (40). A node, configured for operation as a member of a processing cluster may function as either a master node (43b) or as a slave node (43a, 44a, 44b, 44c). A master node receives notifications of cluster configuration parameters from the common set of configuration parameters, and distribute these to other members of the processing cluster (40).</p> |
