DISTRIBUTED APPLICATION EXECUTION IN A HETEROGENEOUS PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

A method for distributing execution of a computer program to a plurality of hardware architectures of different types including: analyzing the computer program to identify a plurality of execution boundaries; selecting one or more execution boundaries from the plurality of execution boundaries; linking the computer program to the selected one or more execution boundaries; executing the computer program with linked execution boundaries; saving a hardware agnostic state of the execution of the computer program, when the execution encounters a boundary from the selected one or more execution boundaries; and transmitting the hardware agnostic state to a remote hardware architecture to be executed on the remote hardware architecture, responsive to the hardware agnostic state.

1. A method for distributing execution of a computer program to a plurality of hardware architectures of different types, the method comprising:
analyzing the computer program to identify a plurality of execution boundaries; selecting one or more execution boundaries from the plurality of execution boundaries, based on predetermined parameters; linking the computer program to the selected one or more execution boundaries; executing the computer program with linked execution boundaries in an originating hardware architecture; saving a hardware agnostic state of the execution of the computer program, when the execution encounters a boundary from the selected one or more execution boundaries; and transmitting the hardware agnostic state to a remote hardware architecture to he executed on the remote hardware architecture, responsive to the hardware agnostic state.
