ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed for having a primary process spawn a secondary process to create multiple data sets, thereby allowing the primary process to continue performing other tasks or to terminate. The primary and secondary processes can be virtual machines, such as Java Virtual Machines running in a computer system. The primary process gathers the raw data used to create the multiple data sets and stores the data in a serialized object. The primary process also runs a script to spawn a secondary process which accepts the serialized object as input. The serialized object is then deserialized and the raw data is operated on by the secondary process without any interference from the primary process. The primary process, responsible for maintaining a GUI for the user, can perform other tasks or terminate without effecting the secondary process. Thus, a user of the primary process is free to continue using the GUI and perform other tasks while the multiple data sets are created by the secondary process in the background.
