Transmission Point Pattern Extraction from Executable Code in Message Passing Environments

摘要

Processes in a message passing system may be launched when messages having data patterns match a function on a receiving process. The function may be identified by an execution pointer within the process. When the match occurs, the process may be added to a runnable queue, and in some embodiments, may be raised to the top of a runnable queue. When a match does not occur, the process may remain in a blocked or non-executing state. In some embodiments, a blocked process may be placed in an idle queue and may not be executed until a process scheduler determines that a message has been received that fulfills a function waiting for input. When the message fulfills the function, the process may be moved to a runnable queue.

1. A method performed by a computer processor, said method comprising:
compiling source code into executable code; during said compiling, identifying a first transmission point, said first transmission point being a message passed to another process; for said first transmission point, identifying a first pattern defining a first output for said first transmission point; creating a first extractable annotation defining said first pattern; and storing said first extractable annotation.
