Distributed actors put work on the queue and take work off the queue. Typical use: a centralized work queue. You put jobs on the queue and different actors can pop work of the queue and process them when they get CPU time. Part of scalability. Have any number of producers and consumers. You don't worry about it. Queues are spread across multiple machines and multiple data centers.</li> </ul>
