ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for optimizing digital processing in a computer system is accomplished when at least one of a plurality of digital processing operations (i.e., a set of programming instructions) receives a user request. The user request may include a request to execute the set of programming instructions and may further include data which would be operated upon by the digital processing operation. Upon receiving the request, the addressed digital processing operation (DPO) informs a controlling digital processing operation of the request, such that the controlling DPO may determine whether the addressed digital processing operation is of a first type. A first type digital processing operation is one that may produce a hang-up, an error, or is not optimized when executed alone or when executed in parallel with another digital processing operation. When the digital processing operation is of the first type, the controlling digital processing operation determines whether the addressed digital processing operation can be executed without alteration. Such a determination is based on whether the addressed digital processing operation will be executed individually or in parallel with others. When the addressed digital processing operation is not executable without alterations, the controlling digital processing operation selects at least one alternate digital processing operation (i.e., work around software) to be executed instead of the digital processing operation.
