 ROS can be used across a network, with different nodes running on different computers. One computer should be designated as the "​server"​ computer, which runs the rosmaster server (this program, along with a few others, is started up when you run `roscore`). It makes little difference as to which computer runs `roscore`, as the server is not a CPU-intensive task. For convenience,​ we always set the sub to be our rosmaster server. ROS can be used across a network, with different nodes running on different computers.
