Distributed VM

Hi,

Azul systems (http://www.azulsystems.com/products/nap.html) has a
really nice devices that they call compute appliances. Clients using
it need to install the azul vm, and all java programs are executed on
the appliance (with a LOT of CPU power) without any code changes.
Local file access or network connections are proxied to the local vm,
but all calculations are run on the appliance. It should actually be
possible do do the same on generic computers. Some distributed vm's
exist, but didn't have a lot of success. Did anyone give a distributed
extension for sablevm some thought?

Greets,
