I was looking at buying the Cluster compiler toolkit but had a few questions:

-do you need the license to run the compiled programs or just to compile them?
-can you purchase license for the master node only?
-does the compilers support scyld (master node + stateless slave nodes)?

The license is needed to compile the application only, not to run it. Therefore, the second question does not seem to be applicable.

The compiler itself has no knowledge of clusters, but I'll defer the scyld question to someone more familiar with it.

Scyld: the nodes will need access to the runtime libraries. You can either add compiler libs to your slave image OR you can set up the compiler on an NFS exported from the master to the slave clients. I prefer the NFS solution.
