Parallel distributed processing and operation processors

摘要

In a system in which a plurality of network nodes (3, 4) are connected through a network (2), when a computation object (300-302) of a first network node (e.g. 3) calls a function (facility) of a computation object (400-402) of a second network node (4), the first network node obtains facility identification codes (numeral) of the object and the function from a remote reference table (310) and outputs the facility identification codes through the network (2) as a message together with the arguments of the function to the second network node (4). The second network node (4) uses the input facility identification code as a key to obtain the execution address of the facility from a local reference table (406) and executes that facility.
