I got a couple ideas from
<http://pareto.uab.es/mcreel/ParallelKnoppix/ParallelKnoppixTutorial.html>.
Of course, we have to run a LINPACK benchmark to see how we
compare to the Top500.  I think the Mandelbrot example is a good
one too since it's more visual.  I'm sure there are others we can
come up with as well, I'll have to research it.

Cool.  It would probably be worthwhile to follow up on Alex's
suggestion as well, although storage could be a whole other GUM
topic in its own right...
