Abstract
A method and apparatus for parallel processing is provided. A parallel execution object organizes and initiates execution of two or more parallel processing threads that act on members in the context of a transaction. The members comprise one or more sets of data for which parallel processing is needed, for example, sets of network device data. The threads are organized by receiving a set of execution components that have a partial order defined by preconditions and resource requirements. A partial order evaluator resolves the partial order into a final order of execution of the components. The parallel execution object, members, transaction, and partial order can be declared in the context of an application program. Optionally, the threads are organized by selecting execution components that are optimized for use with a particular current phase of execution of the application program.
