Is it possible to use 2 laptops as a single pc?

[Cryscle]

I looked around for ages and never found a thread or anything for this, but i was wondering is it was possible to turn 2 laptops as a single one (meaning both working on the same exact thing a.k.a a game). Any help is appreciated thanks. (if you need anymore explaining just ask and ill reply as soon as i can).

Wait so you want to combine the power of two laptops as one? If so, that is not possible.

Yes, it's called cluster/distributed computing. It doesn't work for real-time workloads like gaming, but is useful for large scale computation projects that have very little sequencing requirements. Many 3D creativity applications support cluster computing APIs for large scale rendering. SETI, Boink projects, folding, all examples of distributed cluster computing.

So how would i go by doing that?

The software you are using must support cluster computing APIs. "How" you go about doing that, is to be using software which leverages these capabilities.

If you downloaded SETI@home for example, and ran the client on both of your laptops, then both of your laptops would be participating in the same compute project.

Here's an example of a successful cluster computing project: http://www.deskeng.com/de/building-a-virtual-workstation-based-cluster/
