Clicking on the Find Nodes button in the HP Computing Panel brings up a dialogue to find and save nodes
based on certain criteria. These criteria are in part inspired by a paper by Buyya et al. titled,
"Economic Models for resource management and Scheduling in Grid Computing". At least the time to compute
and the cost is.

I can select all computing nodes that promise to solve my job in a certain amount of time, or at a certain cost.
I can also have a combination of time and cost, in other words a rate.

I can also select nodes within a certain geographic distance from the present location if selected alone or from
a certain geographic location if it is selected as well.

I can also find nodes by common interest (using perhaps cosine similarity). Pressing the query button, and
clicking the show map button shows all nodes satisfying the criteria.

I can select nodes individually that appear in the list or map or select them all. Then I can click "Save As" to save my collection of nodes for use in High Performance Computing for my Applications.
