Distributed Threads !
-------------------

We have developed the `DTh' library, which stands for:
Distributed Threads. It is probably precisely what you want.   
It is a collection of C functions to support distributed and
parallel applications running in a heterogeneous computing
environment. It supports tasks, threads and monitors,
and communications between them.

For more information, including availability, please contact the developer:
Farhad Arbab, email: farhad@cwi.nl, phone: +31 20 5924056.

I hope this helps.
