~95% of my coworkers would benefit from reading this essay.
Right now they are busy setting up a 1000 node cluster. I estimate
that 900 of those nodes will be dedicated to JVMs, 90 to parsing XML
messages from each other and the other 10 to actually solving the
engineering problem at hand.
(That said, I don't think xargs can launch processes on a remote
machine, although maybe "./process" can.)
