I'd like to start taking advantage of the virtualization technologies built into the newer release, but am unsure what kinds of best practices there are for doing this.

I'm thinking of slowly picking up Parallel Programming. I've seen people use clusters with OpenMPI installed to learn this stuff. I do not have access to a cluster but have a Quad-Core machine.

It worked for a few days but then the resource usage went off the charts - near 100% CPU at all time...
