A computer generated method disclosed. The method includes each filter within a chain of filters of a pipes and filters architectural pattern declaring a pass requirement to indicate a number of times the filter is to be processed to produce final form data and processing a stream of data at each filter within the chain of filters to produce the final form data.

Method and system aspects for mapping tasks to iteratively improve task assignment in a heterogeneous computing (HC) system include identifying a current machine that defines a makespan in the HC system. Further included is the reassigning of at least one task from the current machine to at least one alternate machine in the HC system according to a predefined reassignment constraint. Reassigning also includes reassigning the at least one task when the at least one alternate machine can perform the at least one task in addition to previously assigned work while finishing in less time than the time of the makespan reduced by time required for the task being reassigned.

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for using a resource context to access resources and source data for a transform. A transform receives a request to transform source data and calls a resource context. The resource context initializes a resource object for the transform and acquires associations to source data and resources needed by the transform. The resource context maintains the acquired associations to source data and resources in the resource object for the transform and supplies the associations to the source data and resources to the transform. The transform transforms the source data using the resources to produce output and provides the output to the resource context.
