May I propose something useful? (Score 2)

I run LARGE analysis jobs on my workstation, which I would dearly love to foist on the other several hundred computers on our companies network. However, I am using canned stress analysis code (writing my own is not a true option) which I can not modify to take advantage of distributed computing techniques. I propose a program which emulates the hardware and allows NT or Linux or WHATEVER to be installed on it and then goes ahead and distributes work out to other computers as if they were merely more cpu's in parallel with the servers own... Can the boys and girls say 'cluster'? But this time only one cpu is always there, the others check in and out as their screen-savers switch on. Someone just go ahead and write this, I and many others would pay money for this sort of thing!!
