What is the cloud / cloud server?

So it's kind of analogous to the term Web 2.0 in the sense that nobody was really clear what it meant because it was nothing really new.
So it just a remote server with new management software. I get that, new terminology I guess.
How about folding then, that uses the CPU power of many remote PC's - over the internet - how exactly do they collate all the power contributions, a bit analogous to bittorent in some senses?
Lets say I wanted my own server farm, ok maybe a couple of PCs hooked together to multiply CPU power, what kind of hardware/software would I need for that?
