It is my intention to allow system resources to be partitioned off so
your workstation could be a standalone box but also provide resources
(such as a disk partition, memory, cpu, and networking services) to
a cluster, or to several clusters.
After reading this description, it struck me that this sounds kind of
like a jail ... a multi-machine jail.
Or...if clusters are separated enough from the machines they're running
on, could you perhaps turn it around and get jail functionality for free
with a cluster defined on just one machine?
Or is that kind of thinking way off base of the vision? Either way,
what you describe sounds terribly cool.
