Joshua mentions 'pinning' the guest OS - which sounds interesting and we should hear more about that if possible.
If you go the route of having one machine with many cores, borrowing a technique from big NUMA you could look at cpusets. And hey, let's be clear - we're talking 48 cores and potentially 100's of gigabytes of RAM in these single boxes - they ARE big NUMA systems. What goes around comes around etc. I know that PBS integrates well with cpusets on the Altix, SGE should also.
