Has anybody tried running SETI/BOINC on a cluster?

Well, isnøt Boinc itself a rather large cluster?

Boinc is not set up for cluster processing. It COULD be but at present there is sooo many cpus NOT clustered that the emphasis is not in that direction. A cluster system wouldn't be a likely place for processing anyway, they tend to be used heavily for other things. I AM speaking in generalities.
