Perhaps this project?
I just wrote rthread library that makes distributed computing look
like writing multi-threaded programs.
The only thing required from remote hosts is ssh server and executable
rthread_server (included in the package) in PATH. (The library
executes "ssh -C -c blowfish remotehost 'rthread_server'", and uses
stdin and stdout of that process as a communication channel.) There is
no need for interface definitions, no need to open communication
ports, no need to copy remotely run function code to remote hosts.
