But just think of the challenges of implementing MPI on a network of
ephemerally connected cellphones. Or any of the cluster filesystems? What
about a scheduler/queue manager? The nature of the computing nodes and
communication would bring new meaning to the Byzantine General problem.
This is an order of magnitude more complex than a cluster of RPi or Beagles,
which, frankly, is a doddle.
(I'm omitting the obligatory "what about a Beowulf cluster of X" comment, since
we are, after all, the Beowulf mailing list and it goes without saying.
