What is a compute node? : <p>I understand this may be a very juvenile question, but I'm learning about linked lists in C#, and they keep referencing Nodes, which I somewhat understand at an intuitive level, but I've never gotten a formal explanation of what exactly a node is, especially in this context, can someone give me a rundown on the definition of a node in moderately plain english? </p>

<p>I've read this: <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.computecluster.node(v=vs.85).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.computecluster.node(v=vs.85).aspx</a> but it doesn't help much as it uses other concepts/jargon that I don't quite understand just yet. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
