The Raspberry Pi's ethernet is a device on the USB bus.  It's a 10/100
interface but I've never seen anywhere near 100Mb performance for
mine. 

I read the paper you posted, and the test case used the Monte Carlo
method [1], which is considered an 'Embarrassingly parallel' [2]
problem.  Unfortunately, not all parallel problems are as easy to
separate effort, which is why I asked.
