I've seen great results from a local production house using Gridiron's X-Factor : a program that helps Adobe's After Effects render it's output quicker by splitting up the workload via network connection. Sony's Vegas has something similar.
And now grid network products are coming out that aren't dependent on host programs, or even operating systems. AND they speed up previews, not just final renders. It's kinda amazing.
I know that Steinberg's VST system link has been around, but that's proprietary. Whats stopping us from having a grid system that works on multiple OS's and a variety of hosts.
what's in the pipeline?
Grid networking for audio apps? are we there yet?

Someone justs needs to code it. It will probably happen eventually.

FX Teleport is one example of a peer-to-peer solution. Not yet on a network, and not fast enough for most of us. I doubt it will be a usefull technique for realtime (sub-10ms latency) applications...
And there is ofcourse true hardware! A pile of Receptors linked throug midi to one sequencer would function the same, wouldn't it?
