Before Stick et All ask...

There is a logical progression that GnuBG is bound to take. There really isn't any reason why GnuBG couldn't be designed (in the future) to allow rollouts and analysis to potentially be distributed across a cluster of computers.

It wouldn't be as efficient as having shared memory among processors in a single system, however being able to use a cluster of underutilized PCs (low power and high power systems) could substancially reduce batches of rollouts and streamline things from the usability perspective.

And on a final note: I can see it now, Forget about a SETI screen saver... a Stick screensaver that uses your unused processing power to complete rollouts instead of finding ET's ;-)
