Well, nothing much really. I have a few machines that operate, depending
on the project, as a beowulf cluser, load balanced server, database farm,
etc.

I was at LinuxWorld and saw SGI's cc:NUMA machines, and I thought that
they were cool. I was just curious about practical uses and wondered if
there was a way to simulate a system like that.

I suppose Dolphin makes specialized adapters for it, but I was hoping I
could do it cheaply.
