An HPC is a cluster consisting of multiple machines and it uses a head-node (here bastion host) from where jobs are submitted to this cluster using a job engine (for example slurm). If you have many jobs that need to be run independently than the setup described here will work well. A "real" HPC does more on top: There is a high-performance network between machines and it enables to run jobs that combine multiple machines (e.g. MPI). This would be needed if you have a problem that's so large that a single machine wouldn't be big enough. In this example here we build a cluster without this advanced networking. Most people will not need an HPC for their work and they should use a single [virtual machine](http://brainhack.org/brainhack_cloud/tutorials/vm/), because it requires considerably less setup work and easier to maintain.
