ABSTRACT:
A data processing system is described in which the workload is divided into packets. A plurality of processors access the packets and process them by rewriting them according to predetermined rules. Packets can be of a number of different types, including XAPP and PAPP. An XAPP packet contains a function and one or more arguments in evaluated form, so that the function can be immediately applied to the arguements. A PAPP packet is similar except that its arguments may not be in evaluated form. Processing of an active PAPP packet consists of activating other packets which evaluate the arguments of the PAPP packet, and converting the PAPP to a suspended XAPP packet, awaiting return information from those other packets. The use of different packet types allows greater efficiency, by eliminating redundant actions in processing of the packets.
