There were some projects that used multiple PIs. From a cost and
complexity standpoint they were more "because we can" rather than
practical. A multicore AMD or INTEL processor would be a better option.
If you skip the high power GPU the system cost is lower. Also the MPI
cluster code is "off the shelf" for those processors.
