This question came up the other day when I was talking to a few scientist friends of mine. They mentioned seeing it done, but that the hardware that was required to do the operation in less than a few days was well off into the horizon of the consumer market. I wasn't able to untangle all of their technical jargon, but it seems like the problem is that a computer, by its very binary nature, can only do one operation at a time. The task that you speak of is actually multiple operations, so the computer must think through each step linearly, not at the same time. My recommendation would be to contact the computer science department at your state university, some of those guys are experimenting with a scheme of multiple processors capable of actually dividing the tasks out. Very exciting, you should see it in person, if you can get clearance.
