Could an abstraction of "single Linux computer" be actually useful with Earth-scale latencies?

  Think of it in a "Compute at home", "folding at home", blockchain-sense then latency doesn't matter as much, I do not know if anyone has tried solving things with big clusters separated by 40ms-60ms latencies.

  Maybe if you had some kind of amazing cache system that organized everything into one big tree so that data needed for different computations is as local as possible. It would be very challenging though.
