When talking about cluster computing, I had someone once ask: "Is that a
case where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts?" "It's less.
Always less."
Depends on how you count it. You may also see it as a bunch of computers
in which 0 computer can do task T in time N, but they can join together to
form 1 (or more) computer(s) that can do task T in time N or less. In that
sense, it's infinitely more powerful. This way of seeing it is much more
important in realtime apps than in batch-compute-over-the-weekend apps.
It's like how one ninja turtle alone can't beat a certain evil monster,
but with teamwork, they can. ;)
