Basically yes, that's possible. But it's better suited for parallel
processing. You could run 120 track edit system with 4 nodes and every node
processing it's own 30 channel set. You could put input to one system and
get output from the same system, but processing is done in 4 systems in
parallel with binary run virtually only once.
Think it as something like fork(), but childs execute on different nodes.
To make it more complicated, node count doesn't have to be same as child
count... You can communicate between nodes using messages (in MPI).
