Hi all,
Is there a way to create a cluster so that you can spread one process across many computers, thus creating something like one super processor, and not many single processors? Thanks,

Not for just any random process: if you want to spread a single task over a lot of systems your software should be written to support such a scenario, if possible, for instance by using the PVM libraries.

www.openmosix.org - openMosix will migrate multiple tasks and allow load balancing across a cluster.
To spread ONE task across multiple nodes, you need to write it specifically to do this, using eg. PVM or MPI (I prefer the latter - see: http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpich/ http://www.csm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html

i think u can try to use MPICH.u can google it and the first result is it's homepage.

Install lam and read the man pages and documentation.
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/mpirun lam-7.1.1-1_FC3
There are sample programs and all... /usr/share/doc/lam-7.1.1/users-guide.ps.gz

Take a look at openmosix. From the little you said, I think it's better than the other suggestions.
