SYSTEM FOR HIGH-LEVEL VIRTUAL COMPUTER WITH HETEROGENEOUS OPERATING SYSTEMS

摘要

2087735 9201990 PCTABS00010 A system facilitates a high level virtual computer (HLVC) in a heterogeneous hardware and software environment. A user specifies the hardware and software configuration of a virtual computer which is routed into a configurator (12), which activates a distributed process controller (14) and supporting components in the desired virtual computer. Each processor in the virtual computer is equipped with a language injection library (24) and runtime servers (daemons (20)). In one embodiment, the language injection library facilitates transference of data among the processors in the system during the execution of an application program, and isolates the details of coordinating the heterogeneous hardware and software in the virtual computer. The disclosed embodiments easily lend themselves to the construction of scalable special purpose processors.
