Sort of, but you won't gain anything since your application is 
single-threaded. If your application forks multiple processes that work 
independently, then you could use something like Kerrighed to merge 
multiple machines into one big virtual SMP machine. But if SMP doesn't 
help you, then Kerrighed certainly won't either.
