[IPython-dev] Balancing code execution in ipython1

Hi,
I've started to work with the parallel ipython and feeling that this is a
fantastic and promising tool.
I want to run some of the tasks in parallel, but I'm not comfortable with
the scatter way, that equally divides a set of tasks.
I would like to balance the code execution between computers for two
reasons: I have computers with distinct speed and the code may be completed
earlier in some cases.
I would like to know when a computer have ended a task and assign a new one.
I've considered a solution similar to pylinda tuple spaces but (as far as I
know) the the kernel does not have access to the kernel client other than in
a form of answering. The kernel cannot take the iniciative and change a
cluster common data, that could be a way of solving my needs.
What is the best direction? Should I derive from a resultgatherer to monitor
the end of code execution or there is a better way?
Thanks in advance for your time.
