Interesting question. As I understand the Beowolf design concept,
it would help to have both a Distributed Systems Annex implementation
and a tasking run-time especially targeted to the cluster. (You want
to be able to spread programs across processors using partitions, but
also to have a tasking run-time that assumes that rendezvous are
between processors if the tasks have no need for shared memory.)
Shouldn't be too hard...
