I think this is a good research area and is reasonable to explore as a
GSOC topic.  I'd be interested in what sort of concepts and API emerge
for such a library.  I'm not sure if the topic area is one that would
ultimately be included in boost or not.  Strong integration with
boost.mpi, boost.thread/process would make a more compelling case,
though I think the concepts and API are much more important to think
about for now and shouldn't be constrained by existing boost technologies.
