I have recently started using ProActive Parallel Suite (http://proactive.inria.fr/). I was wondering if there are any alternatives for .NET Framework which are open-source and which have relatively the same feature set.
A:
Although not open source, Microsoft has announced that the Parallel Extensions to .NET will release as part of the .NET 4.0 Framework release. See the Parallel Computing Developer Center for more information.

Parallel Extensions is a library that only deals with parallel multi-core computing. I'm more interested on the distributed computing functionality that Proactive provides.

I thought it did cover that from what I remembered of a .NET Rocks episode from a couple of years ago, sorry!

Your thinking correctly. .NET Rocks has covered parallelism several times. In particular, I recall one where the guest was a British guy who created a library called "Centipede" or something (no luck retracing that episode.)

If I understand what you're looking for correctly, it's distributed objects. You may want to look into CSLA here:http://www.lhotka.net/cslanet/ I'm not sure how much(if any) it deals with the multi-core stuff.
It's for .NET and kept really up to date, with an active community.
