Thanks, I will definitivly take a look at this, but main problem
is that I can't imagine main clauclation loop w/o freqent comunication
between computers. At least each must have complette source image, wich
should involve 1MB or more transfers to each computer per frame
(20 times per second) and thats impossible. So I have to think about
less optimal, but networkable calculation loops.
