Distributed Computing Framework (.NET) - Specifically for CPU Intensive operations

Viewed 15276

I am currently researching the options that are available (both Open Source and Commercial) for developing a distributed application.

"A distributed system consists of multiple autonomous computers that communicate through a computer network." Wikipedia

The application is focused on distributing highly cpu intensive operations (as opposed to data intensive) so I'm sure MapReduce solutions don't fit the bill.

Any framework that you can recommend ( + give a brief summary of any experience or comparison to other frameworks ) would be greatly appreciated.

I was one of the lead developers on Alchemi. We've had to change course are start fresh, and the result is the Utilify Platform. Conceptually similar to Alchemi, the Utilify platform builds on the lessons learnt from Alchemi and provides a more flexible programming model to build distributed .NET applications on a Windows network.

Please visit www.utilify.com for more information. Currently, there is a free beta version available for download.
