Rodrigo-
    I prefer the MPI standard, there are many implementations available,
(for me) it was easier to configure, install and run. It is portable and
well maintained. Have you, looked into OpenMOSIX? It is a process migration
method, but is currently suited for Intel 32 bit architecture only ( -
