A program that let remote machine mount the entire filesystem of local machine, then chroot it to execute the command on the remote machine. It implemented a FUSE-based network filesystem intended for ad-hoc use just for this, with some obvious optimization for loading all dependency at once. As the result, remote machine need no preparation other than ssh access. It's... interesting.

Yep, I built something like this a few years back to run bioinformatics scripts on my laptop on my HP server in a closet.

It's very easy to setup with a very minimal code.
