摘要： In order to efficiently execute a complex task within a computer system, the task is partitioned into a plurality of entities. A master process and a slave process are started for each entity. The master processes schedule operations to be performed, while the slave processes perform the operations. One slave process is coupled to one or more other slave processes because of path interconnections between the entities. Communication is established between any coupled slave processes such that one slave process may directly communicate with another slave process without involving the master processes. The master and slave processes execute in parallel on a plurality of processors.
