lucky guess.
the short answer is that it's hard enough to do that no-one
does it. Getting multiple computer to work together is a
hard problem. Current implementations are
o parallel programming, HPC, mpi, numa, beowulfs
o grid computing (condor, various middlewares eg globus)
o job farms (grid computing, or setups like the Stone
Soupercomputer). You would need an app that needs to be run
many (1000s) of times and for which rapid turnaround isn't a
prime requirement.
I think your best bet would be to turn your machines into a
job farm. You could have VMWare running on each machine so
that all machines appear to have the same hardware if that
would help
