There probably needs to be some sort of timeout handling or something to recover if there is no response to a subtask within a period of time. Since the handling of the actual output is done by the distributed task class, that logic could go there but it makes sense to harvest that into the framework. As for resources, the DistributedTaskController doesn't actually hold any resources other than the address and load of each worker that is being utilized. Resource management is the responsibility of the distributed task class. I'm working on a bigger sample that shows how the grid can be used to spread out a lot of processing across available processors -- I'm just looking for a good problem to solve so I can do it. Your input is welcome! Right now there is no handling for a remote process that dies and never responds.

What resources are you holding per task? What happens when a worker machine crashes?
