For what its worth, my own brushes with HPC over the years have been
Weather simulations written it C++ and MPI, tens of Mb of F77 Finite
element alanysis run on mainframes (this occured twice), and video processing
software consisting of tools connected by pipes - though nearly all the tools
ran single threaded so parallelsim stops at the length of the pipe, say
20 modules.

Unfortunately none of these would have been applicable to plan9.

I still live in hope though.
