It's been an interesting thread, but I think I've come to the
conclusion that, except for a few financial market uses, such a device
is not really useful for bewoulf or HPC as the MISD model doesn't seem
to be of much practical use unless you can get something cute for
virtually free to suit occaisonal use like those mentioned earlier
such as the PAPERS or integrated Blue Gene.

So if you want another offbeat idea on how to do broadcast on a large
cluster - what about wireless ?
(although again, you can't get realistically reliable transport with
checking acks )
