[AM] (10 october 2006) I have been sketching a package that will do what I want with distributed computation:
   * make setting up such a computation as simple as possible from the client side. 
   * make the server side as transparant as possible
   * first: whether threads are used or separate processes to gain concurrency is up to the server and what resources it has available)
   * second: whether there is a fixed pool of worker interpreters or not, depends on the kind tasks the client asks for (independent tasks versus tasks that require synchronisation)
   * third: if synchronisation is required, then all tasks to be synchronised will be waited upon

This is just meant to preserve my early-morning thoughts on the matter - scribbles on the back of a print-out may get lost.
