Yeah, ultimately to parallelize something you have to be able to somehow split the problem into smaller subproblems.

The nice thing is that ParallelFx can do this splitting process for you in some case like the one you describe :

ParallelEnumerable.Range(1, 100000).Where(IsPrime).ToList();

where IsPrime is a Func.

Focus on parallel algorithms of theoretical computer science,
In computer science, a parallel algorithm, as opposed to a traditional sequential algorithm, is one which can be executed a piece at a time on many different processing devices, and then put back together again at the end to get the correct result.

Some algorithms are easy to divide up into pieces like this. For example, splitting up the job of checking all of the numbers from one to a hundred thousand to see which are primes could be done by assigning a subset of the numbers to each available processor, and then putting the list of positive results back together.

You have to check out the source from SVN at http://code.google.com/p/mono-soc-2008/source/checkout (it’s in trunk/parallelfx/System.Threading.Extensions)

Where is Mono.Threading.Actors? Couldn’t find any information about it.
