You get vague answers to vague questions.

Not all problems can be calcuated faster with multiple processors.
If what the processes are doing can be done can be speeded up by running it on two machines considering the letency involved in communications between machines then in theory yes.

You will need to source code to the programs you are running, programming skill and a lot of time.
