Description:
Multiplicity is a program that enables a user to control multiple
local personal computers as a single computing platform.
It works in a similar manner to a single machine with multiple
monitors. Except in this case, each monitor is connected to its own
computer. The primary computer has a keyboard and mouse connected to
it while the client computers do not. When the user moves their mouse
cursor onto a different monitor, they are controlling the computer
that the monitor is connected to.
The result is that a user who has more than one computer in their
office can put them together and control them all from a single
keyboard and mouse.
