lucky guess.

the short answer is that it's hard enough to do that no-one 
does it. Getting multiple computer to work together is a 
hard problem. Current implementations are

o parallel programming, HPC, mpi, numa, beowulfs

o grid computing (condor, various middlewares eg globus)

o job farms (grid computing, or setups like the Stone 
Soupercomputer). You would need an app that needs to be run 
many (1000s) of times and for which rapid turnaround isn't a 
prime requirement.

I think your best bet would be to turn your machines into a 
job farm. You could have VMWare running on each machine so 
that all machines appear to have the same hardware if that 
would help
