Sergiy, The research group I run at Intel has been working on a number of scalability projects. We use OpenSim as the platform for conducting the research.
A number of publications on the results are here: http://techresearch.intel.com/ProjectDetails.aspx?Id=154 <http://techresearch.intel.com/ProjectDetails.aspx?Id=154>--mic C.
