well, there are some standards outthere, and some good implementations for them (free and commercial). the most used are MPI(message passing interface) which has a distributed architecture(explicit parallelism), based on message paassing between processes among machines on a network for example, and PVM(parallel virtual machine), wich has an implicit parallelism, meaning that the parallelism is hidden to the user.

hope it helps.

Either buy the dead-tree edition, or view the (author approved) online version at http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/dbpp/
