I think you just compile whatever application with a cluster-optimized library
and that's good. Of course, the app has to be the type with little i/o and
lots of cpu time so that it's worthwhile to run it in a cluster, so I guess
you're mostly right. I think we would build a cluster and then just stand
around staring at it, saying "OK, we built this thing, now we need something to
run on it".
