compute server
<computer, parallel> A kind of parallel processor where the parallel
processors have no I/O except via a bus or other connection to a front-end
processor which handles all I/O to disks, terminals and network.
In some antiquated IBM mainframes, a second CPU was provided that could not
access I/O devices, known as the slave or attached processor, while the CPU
having access to all devices was known as the master processor.
