[Beowulf] massive parallel processing application required

[Mitchell Wisidagamage]

Any kind system is fine. It all depends on the type of the "application" 
I get.

I thought of password cracking. But there wouldn't be much substance in 
the project in it.

Any ideas? There's got be lots of transaction processing.

When I was working at an ISP we calculated dial-up internet usage by 
useing the large RADIUS log files. The program took quite took quite a 
while to process. And I remember there were many other applications that 
took a while to process such as the bandwidth manager, anti-spam/anti 
virus gateway, traffic monitoring software, etc. Unfortunately I no I 
know anyone who's still working at the company.

Any other real world applications where I can atleast simulate input data?

thanks,
   Mitchell
