We use Sun's Grid Engine (SGE) where I work; I implemented the solution. It's run on a mix of x86 and x64 machines and used for chip synthesis and simulation.
I've experimented with using so-called parallel environments for parallel C/C++ makes, but find that distcc is much faster for those kinds of things where the individual make rule executions are short-lived (< 10-20 secs/file).
But for long-running jobs that fit well on one node, SGE is very, very nice. It's a beast to master the configuration, but once set up, it (so far) just works.

Clearly second, once you got it running its awsome, we have (had) it running for AIX, Alpha, AMD64 and of course x86 (the last three linux based). I strongly recommend having a look at it!A survey of open source cluster management systems (Linux.com)
