I'm very interested to hear of some applications for such loosely connected "clusters" such as boinc would create. My crappy 100mb connection is alright for the few embarrassingly parallel applications I've applied to it which do not have a large origin dataset, but again, these are very few. I would imagine the connection (with hops and an even slower/less dedicated interconnect at each hop) for boinc "nodes" would be far worse. I looked for examples on the boinc site briefly, but cannot seem to find any.
Any notable embarrassingly parallel problems you all have seen or worked with? Sorry for my lack of experience in this area.
