    It doesnt work that way.
    You can not just add up the hardware specs.

    You will have to do 5 individual installs,
    and then install a cluster software to combine the machines.
    I have never done this, but I think "MPI linux cluster" in google will give you some hints.

    Even if a cluster software is installed, I *think* the programms you intend to run
    have to meet certain criteria, like being linked against a mpi library.
    So you cannot run just any programm in a cluster.
