Is there a way to use two macs to run one app? I want to use my two macbook pros processors in a shared capacity.

I have two macbook pros a 2.4ghz and a 2.2ghz. Is there a way to use the other macbook pro to help with any cpu intensive apps like audio and video apps. I haven't had much luck on finding anything about sharing resources. It would be awesome if you could link up two macs and use both of them to power through processor intensive tasks.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.5)

The application would have to be specifically designed for distributed computing. Not many are.

That is interesting about the pros, can you point me to where I may find some more information about linking them together, if you know where I can read about it?
