Parallel computing?

Hi all,

I was thinking about the JUMPtec board (the matchbook sized one) and this
group at NASA that purchases hoards of PCs (literal, desktop PCs.. why
they aren't using embedded rack version, I have no idea) to create the
next-generation super computer.. and wondering.. how about using multiple
JUMPtec boards to create a really powerful, parallel processing
supercomputer.. that you can wear on your belt?  LOL.

I am imaging a bandolier of motherboards.. slung across the torso...

Any of you research groups (or individuals) working on this?  I guess
power consumption would increase in lockstep...

Patricia
