  Do you mean a cluster with 30 nodes?  Or a single workstation with
30 CPUs/cores?
  I don't know the exact answer (I'm trying to figure it out for

task view: depending on what software you have or can get installed
on the cluster, some combination of the foreach, snow, Rmpi ... packages
will be helpful).
