That would be interesting.  It's essentially a shared-memory interconnect 
(DEC's name for it was the Memory Channel).  You'd have them allocating pages 
from a hunk of memory shared between the umls.

But, until there's things like process migration and a common filesystem, you 
can't treat a bunch of machines as a real cluster.

Until that happens, the only thing you could use the interconnect for would be 
a network.
