The following tables compare general and technical information for notable computer cluster software. This article is not all-inclusive and may become out of date quickly. Those software can be grossly separated in 4 categories: Job scheduler, nodes management, nodes installation, integraded stack(all the above).

Table Explanation
- Software: The name of the application that is described
- SMP aware:
- basic: hard split into multiple virtual host
- basic+: hard split into multiple virtual host with some minimal/incomplete communication between virtual host on the same computer
- dynamic: split the resource of the computer(CPU/Ram) on demand
