I believe this is a bit like the beowulf project that Donald Becker has worked 
on.  I think Mr. Dean's proposal takes this one step further, but some of the
work that Mr. Becker has put forth could be used as a stepping stone (if Mr. 
Becker's work is availble for use)

Anyway, take a look at http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/beowulf/beowulf.html
