Is there any usable distributed shared memory subsystem?  Even Google 
doesn't do that, iirc.  Google's Map Reduce backend needs to split 
jobs into finite operations that can be distributed across a network 
of varying architectures and software.  The result is similar to what 
a true DSM system would be, but without the complexity.  So, any 
ideas?  Heh...
