I don't know if there is a project joining the two per se, but the
correct list(s) to ask are the beowulf list (see www.beowulf.org) and
the extreme linux list (www.extremelinux.org). PVM and MPI are
commonplace, and I've seen CORBA discussed on the list although I've
never used it myself.
Also, I'd have to say that this is but ONE of the MANY strengths of
Linux. These penguins are tough mothers and have been known to
dismember whole schools of great white sharks while swimming along all
alone just for the fun of it. In addition to making it easy to build
COTS supercomputers linux (extreme or not) on almost anything makes a
damn fine workstation environment...;-)
