Abstract
Particular embodiments generally relate to a parallel tasking framework. Network devices may use discovery messages to determine which services are being offered by different devices. The services provided using the framework allow parallel processing of tasks using modules found in devices. Distribution of modules from one of the devices to other devices may be provided to process a project, which may be any analysis that needs to be performed on data. A project may be made up of tasks that need to be performed where each task may process at least part of the data for the project. The parallel tasking framework allows a device to use processing resources from other devices when other devices are not using the full availability of their processing resources.
