Perhaps a good place to look is also the PASCO 2010 workshop on parallel symbolic computation. The programme is here: http://pasco2010.imag.fr/program.html A few of the people with papers there also post on [sage-devel] or are Sage friendly :) On exciting paper to me is: Parallel Gaussian Elimination for Gröbner bases computations in finite fields Jean-Charles Faugere and Sylvain Lachartre which could perhaps be ported to/adapted for the M4RI library (the authors don't consider GF(2). I'll be working in the group of Jean-Charles Faugère soon (in fact I'm in Paris right now), so I could provide support for both the M4RI and the algorithm part.
