I wonder if that "trick" can be extended to a full implementation of distributed shared memory, i.e. multiple nodes running separate tasks in a single address space and implementing cache coherence over the network. Probably needs quite a bit of extra compiler/runtime support so it wouldn't really apply to standard binaries, but it might still be useful nonetheless.
