分布式计算(Distributed Computing)

 我的朋友必须在工作中编辑很多视频，他一直在谈论他们如何让计算机有时一次超过一天。 上一份工作是在12核Mac Pro上进行40多个小时的渲染。 
 
 无论如何，我读了一些关于使用After Effects进行网络渲染的内容，它让我想起了什么时候我想要一些覆盆子pi来学习分布式计算的编程。 
 
 我的问题是：是否有任何项目/框架抽象“分布式”方面，以便设计单机使用的程序，如Premiere Pro，可以在分布式系统上运行？ 例如，也许库，或者它是什么，使得单个节点看起来像所谓的程序作为线程，因此它不知道它在分布式系统上运行......？ 
 
 对我来说这是一个新概念，如果我想象的是不可能的话，我现在不想深入研究这些东西。 

My friend has to edit a lot of video at work and he's been talking about how they have to leave the computers to render sometimes for more than one day at a time. Last job was a 40+ hour render on a 12 core Mac Pro.
 
Anyway, I read a little about network rendering with After Effects, and it reminded me of when I was wanting to get some raspberry pi's to learn programming for distributed computing.
 
My question is this: are there any projects/frameworks that abstract the "distributed" aspect so that a program designed with single-machine use in mind, like Premiere Pro, can run on a distributed system? For example, maybe the library, or whatever it is, makes individual nodes appear to said program as threads, so that it doesn't know it's running on a distributed system...?
 
It's a new concept to me and I don't really want to dive into this stuff right now if what I'm imagining isn't possible.
