Abstract

See full text

A developer can declare one or more tasks as being replicable. A library manages all tasks that are accessed by an application, including replicable tasks, and further establishes a task manager during requested task execution. During execution, the library generates a plurality of worker threads, and each of the worker threads is assigned to be processed on one of a plurality of different central processing units. When one or more worker threads have finished processing assigned tasks, and other threads are still busy processing other tasks, the one or more idle worker threads copy over and process replicable tasks assigned to the other, busier worker thread(s) to help with processing. The system can also synchronize processing of the replicable task by the plurality of different worker threads and different processors to ensure no processing discrepancies.
