difference between this and that

I was giving some thought recently, to the trend towards adding more and
more cores to a single chip, and wondering if maybe, in the next years
ahead, if we wouldn't be seeing things that sound loony today, like a 4096
core motherboard.

With this in mind, could I ask for a little bit of discussion on the
differences between the SMP management that FreeBAD, and several other OSes
perform, and the things that stuff like Ganglia (see
http://ganglia.sourceforge.net/ ) which manage multi-node networks as if
they are 1 computer (or so I understand it).  I mean, they both try to
spread out job, they both do management, I'm curious, and most especially
on the ways that the differences will cause changes in future computing to go.

I dunno, I just got curious about this.
