I am looking for a game demo that leverages cluster computing in an easily understandable way.

At the demo, highschool students looking at the screens of the computers in the cluster would think:

Oh, THAT would be hard to do that with a single computer... now I understand with clustering is useful!

As a game in order to make the exhibit fun and attractive.

Is there any such game?

Free or open source if possible.

    What is "the real example of cluster computing"?

    This question is far too vague. I recommend reading our question quality guidelines.

    I removed "real application" because some people think that games are not real applications.

    @Kokizzu as you already indicated, games don't usually fall into the domain of problems that can only / easier be solved with CC. In order to leverage the advantages of a cluster, a problem needs to be highly parallelizable. The only thing I could think of where this applies to games would be some server components (maybe AI pathfinding / navmesh creation) in a game with a client/server architecture. But even then, if a cluster were to be a requirements, the game wouldn't be commercially viable. And if it's not a requirement, it's not that good an example.
