OK, somebody else mentioned 9grid.

I ought to mention that I have run a distributed radiation transport
problem on the 9grid, some nodes here, some at bell labs. I wrote a simple
task bag file system (ripped-off ramfs) to support the app.

Plan 9 showed itself to be the best (only) grid system that let you
program the exact same way when resources are local or remote. The task
bag is a great way to run problems like this, and it all works no matter
where the process is, due to Plan 9 features like Private Name Spaces.
Globus will never get to where Plan 9 is now.

Now if we can solve the messier problems we'll be there.
