What if you built a network and nobody used it?

That seems to be what the Canadian's are up against. See:

http://www.abcnews.go.com/sections/tech/CuttingEdge/canadanet990827.html

The fascinating thing about the article is that there are several
things that are technically inaccurate. Showing that even when you
are a big news company you can still mess up the news.

Regarding the interests by several people in solving problems
with distributed computing, you may want to look at:

http://www.aeiveos.com/~bradbury/MatrioshkaBrains/ParallelComputation.html

which contains a number of pointers to both models for assessing
distributed computing architectures and software interfaces for
programming them. If anyone has pointers to add to this please
send them to me.

If I combine the information on these pages what seems clear to
me is that you want to construct the Beowulf clusters in Canada.
