Does anyone have an implementation of a distributed queue? I.e. I have a long running computation f(x) and I'd like to be able to evaluate it (for different values of x) on a bunch of different computers simultaneously, the usual "worker thread" pattern except distributed across a network. I guess this is pretty easy to write with a centralized socket listener that dispatches requests through a Queue to multiple threads on the same machine, each talking synchronously to a server socket. I wonder if something like it already exists. I see a little bit of discussion in the newsgroup archive but no obvious pointers to code.
