In addition to a good selection of general purpose "cluster managers", there are also specialized applications.
As in: distcc
Which allows our little 300Mhz emulated ARMv6 build environment to call on the power of an entire array of "big boxes" to do the heavy lifting.
I am not currently using that feature, although I could, I have three cores sitting in their idle loop while a build is running in the emulated ARM environment.
And Twobob - who probably has a box with one of those Sparc chips with 8 cores and each of those cores being 8-way hyper-threaded (think: 64 cores) for his "studio" machine ...
