Cluster

A cluster is a group of similar things or people positioned or occurring closely together. In various fields, the term has specific meanings. In computer science, a cluster refers to a set of connected computers that work together as a single system, improving performance and reliability. In mathematics, clustering is the task of dividing a set of objects into groups (clusters) so that objects in the same group are more similar to each other than to those in other groups. In geography, a cluster can refer to a group of settlements or industries located close together. The Hebrew translation for "cluster" is עֲצוּמִים (atzumim). In other languages, it is known as cluster in English, cluster in French, Cluster in German, and clúster in Spanish.
