Filling a rack with them would be very interesting.

BeoWolf Cluster maybe?

BOINC tasks run more efficiently when it is one task per thread. MT threads are okay when deadline is more important, because over-all performance suffers. Clusters have the same kind of performance loss as MT tasks.

Agreed. I created both OpenMP and OpenCL for CPU apps for Collatz and both ran slower than running one task per core. About 3% overall, but that's still 3%.
