You mean, some VM software running in openssi as host system, where the
guests can use all the ressources of the whole cluster?

I never tried that, but I think, the main problem would be, if you want
to run a guest as a virtual multiprocessor system, and run the processes
inside the guest on different hosts of the cluster. I guess, that this
is not possible at the moment (because threads have to run on one
clusternode).
On the other side, running one virtual machine on one clusternode
shouldn't be a big problem. I hope.


Nevertheless, a good idea to try that.
