It works over a LAN, with process migration to processors not in use. It was developed by John Ousterhout and others at the CSRG, Berkeley. Sadly it has not been maintained for about 6 years and needs porting to modern hardware. Rumor has it that the Linux with outstanding clustering ability is Turbolinux. Somebody better qualified than I am might like to try cloning to FreeBSD the clustering architecture of Turbolinux.
