Transaction monitor process with pre-arranged modules for a multiprocessor system

摘要

A multiple processor system includes at least one process pair each including a plurality of modules. The modules perform functions related to multiple independent threads, and are arranged in a predetermined order such that higher modules are dependent upon lower modules, and lower modules are independent from higher modules. Each process pair is initially unaware of the number and order of the modules. The order of the modules is related to dependency and interdependency between the modules so that there is a portion of higher modules and a portion of lower modules. Multiple independent threads process the modules to cause activities in the portions of higher modules to take place before activities in the portions of lower modules.
