Is there any Ruby extension for parallel programming? I want to write some examples for parallel programming course and I don't want to reinvent the wheel

Ara Howard has done a lot of parallel programming with Ruby using a system
that he devised.
I think it's okay to mention that the 10th is the target release date for Ruby
Code & Style, an ezine published by Artima, and that one of the articles in
the first issues was written by Ara Howard about the central piece in his
distributed computing system, rubyqueue. I've read the article, and it is
really a superb piece of writing. I'd recommend reading it when the zine
comes out next week, for sure.

we do loose parallelization here at ngdc using my rq package
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/rq/
it's a doesn't parrallelize any of your code itself - but it provides a simple
method of setting up a linux cluster in literally minutes. this make
parallel tasks easier to tackle since the effort can be spent writing that
code and not babysitting the cluster. what kind of parralel tasks are you
planning on doing? how will you distribute them? you may also be interested
in
