Hard to imagine running a giant "Beowulf" cluster like this could produce results. Software programs are metastable ("Mythical Man Month" concept), meaning they constantly require maintenance because they are fundamentally entropy decreasing systems. The work to stitch such a system together would be phenomenal considering to simply building a massive data center (which would be simple by comparison ironically). The "cloud" would be a much better option as it is incredibly powerful and the stability has been encoded into the highly similar hardware. See this classic text, the researcher who originally wrote it was hired by Google [1] [1] - https://barroso.org/publications/IEEEMicro2021.pdf |
