We have a Skype-like app that combines desktops into clusters and lets you run Hadoop/Spark/OpenMPI and other frameworks.

"Skype-like" like in P2P?

It has a P2P component to it since compute nodes self-organize into clusters and exchange data directly if they can.

We got seed funding for this from two VCs in Bay Area.

Nice.

Still, maybe the "Skype" message is a bit off for people that follow such stuff: http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/05/skype-replaces-p2p-s...
