ABSTRACT:
A dynamic data distribution network (12) for use with a software package (10), which includes modules (14, 16, and 18) that produce data and modules (20, 22, 24, and 26) that consume data. The network includes source files (30) and sink files (32). Each data-consuming module contains one or more sink files, each of which serves as a buffer for one type of data used by the module. Each source file serves as a buffer for one type of data that is generated by a data-producing module. Each source file also contains a sink link table (40) that identifies the individual sink files, which serve as buffers for the data consumers that use that data. Whenever new data is generated, a data distribution task (34) initially stores the data in the associated source file and, then based on the contents of the sink link table, copies the data into the appropriate sink files associated with the data consumers that use the data. The data distribution function also informs the data consumers that new data are available in the sink file with which the data consumer is associated, enabling the data consumers to retrieve the data from the sink files.
