Hi Mat,
Nothing is free in this world...
The application has to be coded to use a parallel/distributed computing
environment. Typically this is done by using PVM or MPI (both included
in oscar). Using these tools, the application is separated by the
programmer into parallel-communicating tasks - similar to function
calls, the significant difference being that they execute simultaneously
and communicate over the wire when passing messages.
The application (algorithm) first needs to be paralizable - that is have
tasks with no dependencies so that they may execute in parallel - before
one can undertake writing a parallel version.
enjoy,
stephen.

If I run a third party application, such as a gameserver, will it
automatically be split up and sent as separate processes across cluster
nodes? I.E. can one process be taken care of on 2 nodes at the
same time.
