Stop me if this is old news, but this story came in my "HP Technology at Work newsletter (Jan. 2004)" As a part of our continuing research at Spb Software House, we have assembled and tested a computing cluster based on Pocket PC devices. Twelve Pocket PC devices have been joined in a cluster to perform distributed calculations - the devices share the load of a complex calculation. The concept was to compare the performance of several Pocket PC devices linked into a cluster with the performance of a typical Pentium II-class desktop computer.
The research we constantly carry out is focused on the Pocket PC platform, its possible uses and its abilities. As part of this research, we have created Spb Benchmark, a tool that is intended to measure the performance of various Pocket PC devices and compare them with one another. During our work on Spb Benchmark, we became curious about how a Pocket PC would compare with an average desktop system. Thus, the idea to build a small Pocket PC-based supercomputer was born.
Kind of cool, isn't it? 8)

We have already received some comments from high-performance computing specialists that are very enthusiastic about further development on distributed computing based on mobile devices.
Umm. . .Why?
