<hr />
<p>Manager for computational tasks.</p>
<p>A TaskManager accepts task requests and hands them out to other
processes. It stores the results that can then be picked up by the
requester. A TaskManager also keeps track of its compute processes. If a
process disappears, its running tasks are re-scheduled for execution by
another compute process. TaskManangers are thread-safe.</p>
