I was wondering if a beowulf cluster (or other cluster technologies) can help scale out the effort.  Our processing happens in batch jobs and can easily be run on multiple servers at the same time.  I would like to install some sort of distributed process management tool so we can enable N-nodes to run the computations simultaneously.
