To clarify, I'd intended to mean if MIPS, storage, and/or local or external
I/O bandwidth are available on other computers.

Iirc, Forte Software had products and mebbe patents, on some of this
load-sharing.

I dunno if they had anything on automatically making the amount of excess
resources put into the powergrid exactly equal the amount borrowed at
another time.  That would help, if powergrids are to scale beyond
intra-enterprise size.
