Marco Danelutto and Roberto Di Cosmo have written a small library to
perform parallel maps and folds on multi-core machines. This is
complementary to your library. You should look at the implementation:
communication is performed by marshalling to a shared memory area for
better performances, and pipes are used only for synchronization.

I have also written a more low-level library, where you can control
which process runs each task. This is useful when the processes have
to work with a lot of data that you don't want to duplicate. You can
get the code with the following command:
darcs clone http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~vouillon/coinst/darcs/dev/
The file of interest is task.ml.
