A method is described herein for providing a middleware framework in a multiprocessing environment having multiple processing units for developing a desired application. The method includes: receiving a selection of a plurality of task modules for developing the desired application; receiving connections between the selected task modules to form the desired application; receiving an input of a plurality of execution threads for processing through the formed application; and providing automatic global scheduling over the entire middleware framework of the plurality of execution threads by at least a) providing a job list of at least one job for execution by at least one of the plurality of execution threads, each of the at least one job is a processing of one or more data objects by an associated one of the selected task modules, and b) automatically scheduling an execution of each job in the job list by one of the plurality of execution threads based on at least one predetermined policy.
