A method and tool are disclosed for distributing operations in a software application from a master computer to one or more slave computers for execution. Operations within the software application are identified that employ input data independent of other input data. The identified operations, which can be organized into groups of one or more operations, may then be distributed to a slave computer for execution. A group of operations may also include one or more heuristics, for determining when the group of operations should be executed on a slave computer. If a group of operations is distributed to a slave computer for execution, the master computer subsequently determines if the slave computer successfully executed those operations. If the slave computer successfully executed the group of operations, it returns the resuits to the master computer, which then employs the returned results to continue running the software application. If, however, the slave computer was unable to successfully execute the group of operations, then the master computer may execute the group of operations itself or provide the group of operations to another slave computer, allowing the master computer to continue running the software application without interruption. <IMAGE> |
