If any of you have some older machines sitting around and would like to try making a simple parallel processor out of them, check out the DCEZ project at Emporia State. It only works for "embarrasingly parallel" problems, but that includes POV-Ray rendering. You can set up a parallel network in 5-10 minutes with this, according to the talk I was at last weekend. (I meant to mention it earlier, but forgot...just got that far in typing up my notes to be reminded today.)

Cool. I knew grid computing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_computing) was helpful to geneticists and astronomers, and I knew that places like CERN had some serious computing power, but I just never really hit me that grad and post-grad physicists could make use of it...
That, and I wasn't sure if that specific package would be very useful.
THANK YOU! That's very interesting to know.
