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 Joe -- Joseph Mack NA3T EME(B,D), FM05lw North Carolina jmack (at) wm7d (dot) net - azimuthal equidistant map generator at http://www.wm7d.net/azproj.shtml Homepage http://www.austintek.com/ It's GNU/Linux! _______________________________________________ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - [email protected] Send requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
