Perhaps because internal communication between those 1024 machines will be significantly more difficult than running on a machine that is optimized for parallel operations, RPC just doesn't cut it. You would probably lose a number of your hosts off the top just to coordinate the activity of the remaining machines.
They do not necessarily have to be co-ordinated (or interconnected at all). You could easily give each one a range of combinations to try, and wait until one succeeds. Ben Byer <bbyer@bix.com>
