Is there such an application?

Lets say I have 4 workstations and want to pool them so that I can run a highly threaded program on them without recoding?

In essense the pooling system would combine the 4 workstations into a Virtual Quad CPU system.

Is there such an application?
 
Sort of, yes...there are off-the-shelf cluster computing systems like OpenMosix that will try to do this for you automagically. The problem is that the application has to be designed in such a way that the worker processes are mostly separate and do not need to communicate much or share memory.

OpenMosix will only work with processes, not threads...not sure if there is any system that will migrate theads.
