Could you consider the creation of clustering created by blackhats? They did start out with botnets which started the foundation for clustering and cluster management.

Clustering has existed for a long, long time before black-hats were doing botnets. The practice of breaking up workloads so that more than one computer could process it has been around almost as long as computing itself.
