Charm++ parallel programming system

Hi,

I'm new to Charm++ and I'm working my way to the tutorials right now.  
I'm planing to use Charm++ to implement a prototype application with  
dynamic and hard to predict runtime characteristics and use it to gain  
a better understanding on how to effectively deal with this difficult  
class of applications in a distributed environment. Charm++'s dynamic  
load balancing is certainly a neat feature to cope with this but I'm  
particularly interested if it is possible to assign additional  
resources (CPUs) to and application at runtime. If so, how would one  
implement that and do you know about any applications that make use of  
it?

Cheers,
Ole
