No is the short answer.  The longer answer is that we are looking at
putting together a system with ~20 processors (probably PowerPC) to do
some frame rate work.  This will inevitably need interprocessor comms at
a fairly high rate and one of the suggestions is Myrinet.  It is all a
bit fuzzy at the moment.
