ZeroC has a distributed computing framework that I came across recently. Originally, I was experimenting with AllJoyn, since it came from QualComm – source of powerful graphics etc. But, AllJoyn needs work to build distributed computing on top, though it does offer ad hoc, local comms.

ZeroC, yeah. Ummm. A bit fiddly to get running and there’s the recompile this and that. Wen’t for ZeroRPC instead which supersets ZeroMQ.
