Not that I am aware of. This seems to be a common pattern, though. For
example, we have a parallel test runner to test for regressions in the
Scala compiler that uses a similar pattern.

I think an actor-based implementation of MapReduce
(http://labs.google.com/papers/mapreduce.html), or one that interfaces
nicely with actors would be a very useful thing.
