Abstract
The self-clustering of entities within a system is disclosed. The system can also include a host. Each entity self-discovers all the other entities, such that the entities are aggregated as a cluster. The host communicates with the cluster of entities, where the entities are self-clustered or otherwise, such as through a memory shared by all the entities. The host therefore need not be aware which of the entities performs a given function.
