No, they would need to rewrite SETI with MPI or another library (not happening) or install an OS like Mosix on all computers (possible, but not likely given the learning curve) to make it a true Beowulf. But since the name Beowulf is cool, and since the separate computers are all working toward a common goal (sort of like a true Beowulf), we still call it a Beowulf, anyway.
BTW, Lanman, what OS are you running on the nodes? If it happens to be Linux, then switching to Mosix wouldn't be that hard, after all.
