ABSTRACT:
A computer network provides distribution of a multithread process among different data processing stations in the network. In one embodiment, a global name server is used to distribute the threads and update values associated with the threads. When the process is created, the global name server establishes a distributed process context by dividing logical addresses used by the process among physical addresses corresponding to respective portions of the system memory devices (RAM) in different data processing stations. The global name server assigns a universally unique identification number (UUID) to each process, and uses the UUID to manage the distributed threads. When the data in the distributed process context is updated, the changes are apparent to all threads executing in the distributed process. This approach simplifies access and retrieval of shared process context information, and may be implemented using current thread models, making it easier to incorporate into existing networks.
